About Us
The Westchester Clubmen was founded in 1959 by a group of African-American men whose families were among the first blacks to move to Westchester County, N.Y. Their aim was to create an organization based on fellowship and networking that would strengthen their bond with one and other and within their new community. Early members included esteemed doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs, as well as noted artists such as Cab Callaway and Sidney Poitier.
In 1991, the Foundation created "Higher Aims" to provide early constructive educational intervention in the lives of young African-American and Latino men from economically disadvantaged families. Higher Aims serves nearly 100 African-American and Latino young men in Westchester County middle and high-schools, and 100% of boys who participate in the program attend college.
The Westchester Clubmen Foundation is a 501(c)3 Public Charitable Organization
