Updates on Events in Athens County and Surrounding Areas
On behalf of the Zanesville/Muskingum County NAACP Unit #3209, we would like to extend a special invitation to join us for our 52nd Annual Freedom Fund Dinner.
This year’s theme, “Zanesville Rising: Building Power Through Community,” speaks to the importance of coming together—not only within our own communities, but across our neighboring NAACP branches—as we continue the work of advancing civil rights, protecting voting rights, supporting our youth, and strengthening our communities.
Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 6–9 p.m.
Muskingum County Conference & Welcome Center
205 N. 5th Street, Zanesville, OH
Tickets: $30 per person
We are also excited to welcome Danielle L. Sydnor, member of the National NAACP Board of Directors,as our featured speaker, with special entertainment by Rachel Parker.
We would love to have members of the Athens chapter join us for an evening of fellowship, celebration, and inspiration. Come celebrate our accomplishments as neighboring chapters and prepare together for the charge ahead in our communities. There is strength in knowing that none of our branches is doing this work alone.
Tickets can be purchased online at Reserve Your Seat. For additional information, please contact our Freedom Fund Chairperson, Brenda Curtis, at 740-562-9285.
