The Beverly Hills West (CA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated (BHW) hosted its sold-out second annual Green & White Reception under the theme “A Party With A Purpose” at the iconic AMG Showroom courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Beverly Hills. This highly anticipated event brought together members, supporters, and community leaders for an elegant evening of purpose and celebration.
The Green & White Reception continues to be a signature event, reflecting BHW’s commitment to transforming communities and empowering lives, particularly among African Americans and individuals of African ancestry. Highlights of the evening included moving remarks from a past participant of the Chapter’s GEMS (Girls Empowered Motivated & Strong) Program and her father, who shared how the initiative transformed their lives. A past four-year scholarship recipient also inspired attendees with his story of academic achievement, made possible through BHW’s support.
