B.O.O.T.S. on the Ground: Coatesville NAACP's 62nd Freedom Fund Banquet

This year marks our 62nd Freedom Fund, a critical annual fundraiser run by NAACP Branches since 1953. Proceeds support our social programs and our community initiatives. We use it to honour our community and its members, and hear from excellent guest speakers.

The Coatesville Area Branch of the NAACP is committed to political action engagement, voter registration, legal redress, social and economic injustice, Pr*son reform, inclusion and equity for women, youth, and underserved populations, and being a leader in healthcare, education labor, and civil rights advocacy for residents in our community.

Our 2025 theme is Building Over Obstacles Together Succesfully – and we’re thrilled to have Guest Speaker Lt. Col. Paige Thomas, USMC, Ret. to speak on this for us.
