Kudos for Crowning Achievements (June 25, 2016) The Eubie Blake National Jazz and Cultural Center was the site of the REGAL Women and ROYAL Men Internship Program’s First Annual Majestic Awards Gala. Guests at the black tie event listened to keynote speaker former Baltimore Ravens player O.J. Brigance and celebrated the inaugural class of 22 student participants. REGAL Women and ROYAL Men works with youth – from 11 to 17 years old – in the Yale Heights and Irvington communities to help them improve their social skills and talents, and become successful in pursuing careers and helping others.
