Glenville | Social Services
Phillip Fagan’s passion is to contribute to the revitalization of the Glenville community through his participation in the fraternal organization known as The Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, I.B.P.O.E. (The Elks). Through the lodge’s youth department, grade school youth participate in an annual oratorical contest that raises money for scholarships which are presented to deserving 11th and 12th grade students. The lodge also conducts an annual “Youth March Against Violence” throughout Glenville with the goal of showing the community, but especially the youth, positive African American male role models who care about their well-being. They also support other organizations working for the betterment of the neighborhood. During Phillip’s tenure as President the Elks organized their first community blood drive. Phillip, a United States Marine Corps veteran, was born and reared in Glenville and is a proud graduate of Glenville High School, class of 1984.
