Reverend Frank T. Freley to host Morehouse College Glee Club concert as scholarship fundraiser in White Plains

Reverend Frank T. Freley, senior pastor of First Baptist Church of White Plains, said the historic Morehouse College Glee Club will perform at his church on March 11 at 7:00 p.m., with ticket sales supporting a scholarship fund for young members of the congregation.

“We have the historic Morehouse College Glee Club performing at First Baptist Church in White Plains on March 11th at 7:00 p.m.,” Freley said, describing the concert as a cultural event the church hopes will open doors for young people. He said ticketing includes a VIP option for $100, which covers a pre-concert reception, and a general-admission ticket for $40; children under 18 are admitted free when accompanied by a parent.

The pastor said proceeds will benefit a scholarship for students from the church pursuing higher education. He said the effort honors a late friend, Dr. Frank Flores, who died in January 2024, and that the church’s co-chair for the event is Keith Chaplain. Freley said organizers are “very close” to meeting their fundraising goal but did not specify a target amount.

Freley noted that First Baptist Church’s campus hosts two congregations, including Mission Batista, a Spanish-language congregation, and described the scholarship as earmarked for youth in the church community. He encouraged listeners to purchase tickets through the church website or Eventbrite, adding a preference for purchases via the church site.

The interview framed the concert as both a cultural event and a community fundraiser; Freley said the church sees the concert as an opportunity to support students and to celebrate a long-standing collegiate choral tradition. The host closed the segment by thanking Freley and inviting listeners to attend.

Tickets and concert logistics: March 11 at 7:00 p.m.; VIP tickets $100 (includes reception); general admission $40; children under 18 free with a parent. Proceeds will fund scholarships for young congregation members; a specific fundraising target was not specified.
