We are thrilled to invite you to the 2nd Annual Alfonso & Lillie Williams Golf Tournament, named in honor of
Bishop Jeffery A. Williams, presented by The King’s Cathedral and benefiting The Williams Family Education
Endowment Foundation!
The Williams Family Education Endowment Foundation, established in 2018, is a scholarship program whose mission
is to provide supplemental resources to help adults further their education, training, or certifications and improve the
educational attainment of those who are pursuing or continuing their education.
The Foundation is named after Bishop Jeffery A. Williams, D. Min., who has always been an advocate for education
and evidence-based resources to improve, practice, and boost learning. Bishop Williams has assisted with starting
two (2) schools and was appointed to the Executive Committee for Learning Communities by then-Mayor David N.
Cicilline.
He also served on the following educational boards:
- Providence After School Alliance (PASA)
- Rhode Island Kids Count
- Ready To Learn Providence
- Rhode Island Council on Postsecondary Education
- Rhode Island School for Progressive Education (Graduate School)
- Faith Bible College International
Known as the Chief Empowerment Officer, Bishop Williams has encouraged many over the years to continue their
education, wrote countless recommendations, advocated for people to finish their education, and supported people
financially.
