The African Club puts on a yearly African banquet fundraiser.

• New in 2008, a silent auction featured African masks, fabrics, jewelry and other items including an 8-day stay in Hawaii and a gallon of Somali spiced tea, made from a secret family recipe.
  

• Program included performances by "Drums of Africa", Brazilian Samba, modern African music and a keynote speech by Dr. Moradewum Adejunmobi

• In March 2007, the fundraiser benefited the Margaret Okari Foundation for Kenyan orphans with AIDS and the local family services organization, FamiliesFirst.
