Evelyn Polk Green is a dear member of the ADDA family and past ADDA president, who served, and continues to serve, the ADHD community with great dedication. She celebrated the full, vibrant, and tenacious life of her mother who passed away March 19, 2017 at the blessed age of 93.
Evelyn’s mother (of the same name) was a fierce advocate for education and an inspiring woman who pushed through the barriers of discrimination and oppression with grit and great generosity to others. To celebrate the life of Evelyn’s mother, and, indeed, to simultaneously celebrate the gifts and dedication of Evelyn herself, ADDA awarded three free student memberships to women of color pursuing higher education.
Under any circumstances, completing post-secondary education as a black woman is fraught with challenges. Coping with adult ADHD at the same time is daunting and frequently overwhelming. The recipients of these memberships were extremely grateful and all declared they have already benefitted from the support they’ve received through the ADDA community.
ADDA is pleased to announce that we will continue our support of disenfranchised populations by offering free student memberships to women of color pursuing higher education. These memberships will be provided through your generous donations to the Evelyn Virginia Celebratory Membership Fund.
We ask that you continue to support our efforts generously by contributing to the Evelyn Virginia Celebratory Membership Fund. Text Evelyn to 41444 or click the appropriate button below to donate. This fund will be used to offer free student memberships to women of color pursuing higher education (regardless of age!).
