UBAA Winston C. Doby
Legacy Scholarship Gala
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Winston C. Doby Legacy Scholarship Gala. Your presence, support and energy made the evening truly special. Because of this community, the night was not only a celebration, but a meaningful investment in the next generation of Black Bruins.
The Winston C. Doby Legacy Scholarship exists because of a belief that access to education should never be limited. Since Proposition 209, the UBAA has awarded more than $10 million to more than 800 students, and that legacy continues because of this community. Our work isn't done!
