The Delta Heritage Foundation has been in existence since 1997 as a public foundation located in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our primary purpose is educational and charitable. We support the community by granting scholarships to graduating high school seniors who will attend the college or university of their choice; young adult educational programs; and programs for the residents of Palm Beach County. Since 1997, the Foundation has awarded over $400,000 to students from the West Palm Beach Metropolitan area and funded educational programs for residents from teenagers to senior citizens.

This year’s fundraiser will feature Ms. Celenthia Passmore–Mack. Ms. Passmore–Mack is a proud member of the Miami Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, where she currently serves as the parliamentarian. Ms. Passmore-Mack recently transitioned to this new role after being the chaplain for 6 years. In addition, Ms. Passmore-Mack serves on the Regional Leadership Team for the Southern Region. Ms. Passmore-Mack’s name is etched in the annals of history in the School District of Miami-Dade County. In 2006, she was Francisco R. Walker Teacher of the Year; in 2014, Assistant Principal of the Year for Coconut Palm K-8 Academy and the Homestead Feeder Pattern. In 2020, Ms. Passmore-Mack was honored as the runner-up for the Assistant Principal of the Year for the School District of Miami-Dade County.
