Sponsorships
Greater Galilee has sponsored various community organizations that help give back to the community. The "Johnetta Borum Christmas Party" for deserving children and the Beckum-Stapleton Little League baseball are examples of community organizations we were privileged to be involved with.

Beckum-Stapleton Little League Baseball, the only African American little league in the state of Wisconsin, has been in the Milwaukee community for over 50 years.
The Johnetta Borum Christmas party started in 1971, when Johnetta Borum, a postal worker, got a handful of her co-postal workers together to share a meal and a gift with students in need.
When Johnetta Borum passed away, her co-postal workers, led by Jynette Hamilton kept the tradition going.
More than 15,000 children have been a part of this Christmas celebration.
