 A national fraternity hopes to make a significant impact when it comes to providing scholarships for students graduating from Atlanta Area schools. Previous year’s events have raised as much as $300,000 dollars.

Atlanta’s Delta Mu Mu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. will host the annual Sundresses and Seersuckers Jazz festival Saturday in Centennial Park.

Now in its eleventh year, the organization’s signature fundraising event has grown from a one-day local event to a nationally recognized weekend affair.  In 2019, over 7,000 patrons attended during the three-day weekend helping to support the fraternity’s scholarship initiative and Black Rhinos Mentoring Program.
