When talking about the upcoming Brunch and what it stands for, Gabriel Coleman, Chapter President, Kappa Chi Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., said, “The Brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. are proud to honor the incredible mothers of the Space Coast. As men committed to service and excellence, we know that much of who we are today is rooted in the love, support, and prayers of our mothers and mother figures. The bond between a mother and son is powerful, and its impact lasts a lifetime. We also recognize that a mother’s love goes beyond biology; it’s shown in the care, wisdom, and encouragement women provide in so many ways.

“Our Mother’s Day Salute on May 10th is more than an event—it’s a moment to pause and truly recognize the strength, sacrifice, and unwavering love of the women who have shaped our families and our community. The Space Coast Sigmas invite everyone to join us in this heartfelt celebration.”

The cost is $45.00 per person. Proceeds will support the James E. Maddox Scholarship and essential Chapter operations.
