Named in the honor of Bernie Leroy Bates of Ashville, North Carolina, the foundation was established to provide charitable and educational opportunities while meeting all of the requirements set forth to be considered a 501 (c)(3).  Since its establishment in April of 1995, Bernie L. Bates Foundation, Incorporated has been a cornerstone support vehicle for the Fairfax County and surrounding areas.  Together with its parent organization, Psi Alpha Alpha, the two work seamlessly to continue the good deeds set forth years ago.
