Henry and Shirley Frye

2010 Citation Award Dinner Chairs

The National Conference for Community and Justice of the Piedmont Triad, Inc. (NCCJ) is honored to announce that Henry and Shirley Frye have been selected to chair the 2010 Brotherhood/Sisterhood Citation Award Dinner. Scheduled for Wednesday, November 17 at the Joseph S. Koury Convention Center, 3121 High Point Road, the 44th annual event is the organization’s largest fundraising program.

“Because of our strong belief in the work of NCCJ, we have agreed to chair the Citation Award Dinner this year. We passionately support this mission of NCCJ- to fight, bias, bigotry and racism- and gladly take on this project in support of that mission,” said Shirley Frye. “Henry and I are dedicated to helping NCCJ achieve success and excited to raise funds in support of youth programs like ANYTOWN, partner programs in Guilford County schools and the interfaith activities, like the Study Mission to Israel and the Annual Youth Interfaith Tour.”

The Fryes were honored by NCCJ with the 1990 Citation Award for their decades of work and commitment to just and inclusive communities in the Piedmont Triad. Their work in the community has impacted dozens of organizations, including the International Civil Rights Museum, North Carolina A&T State University, the Bryan Foundation, the North Carolina School of Math and Science and UNCG, just to name a few.

“NCCJ is so pleased to have the Fryes as Dinner Chairs this year. They embody the spirit and mission of NCCJ in all that they do,” stated Susan Feit, NCCJ Executive Director. “The Dinner is our largest fundraising activity and we are delighted to work alongside these two wonderful community leaders to make the 2010 Dinner the best ever.”
