The Alpha Tau Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. in Tuscaloosa, Alabama has a goal to increase their scholarship giving by 50%.

Together with the Bridge Builder Friendship Foundation, the charitable arm of their fraternity, they have donated a total of $335,000 to support the education of young individuals residing in Tuscaloosa, Bibb, Greene, Hale, Pickens, and Sumter counties.

To accomplish this objective, the fraternity and foundation are hosting the Que Xtravaganza Scholarship Gala. The semi-formal affair will take place on December 2 starting at 7:00 p.m. until Midnight at the Bryant Conference Center, situated at 240 Paul W. Bryant Drive, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401.
