Black women die at a rate of three to four times that of white women in this country and

Black babies are still more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday.

In 2021, one out of ten babies was born preterm in Virginia. I have been blessed to have FIVE beautiful children but not everyone has been so blessed and I believe that EVERY baby deserves a fighting chance and I can't do this without your help.

The men of XAL consists mostly of active and retired military officers, government civilians, educators, and businessmen, and are leaders in the community who are constantly striving to project the positive image of Alpha men as Servants of All. The brothers of XAL have formed partnerships and actively participate in various community outreach programs throughout the Northern Virginia area. Some of the programs include the Alpha Academy mentorship program, the sponsoring of the Boy Scouts Troop #1906, Hopkins House ‘Make a Difference Day,’ Thanksgiving Day Homeless Shelter Feeding, Adopt-a-Highway, and a myriad of additional projects and events.
