For the Love of Spelman

 

Be Our Valentine

At Spelman, love runs deep — spanning generations, shaping lives and strengthening our sisterhood. For the Blash family, Spelman isn’t just an alma mater; it’s a shared legacy of service, gratitude and unwavering support.

Sisters Dr. Alayna Blash, a dedicated faculty member, and Toi Blash, a devoted volunteer, and Toi’s daughter Destiny Blash, a proud senior, all share a love for Spelman that goes beyond words — it’s reflected in their continued commitment to giving back. Their generosity ensures that future generations of Spelman women have access to the same transformative experience they cherish.

This "For the Love of Spelman" season, we invite you to join them in giving back. Spelman has played a meaningful role in your journey, so we encourage you to honor that impact by making a gift today. Your contribution, no matter the size, directly adds to the resources that keep Spelman thriving, especially with shifting financial landscapes and uncertain funding. Read more on The Blash Family’s love for Spelman and give from the heart — because Spelman has always given to you.
