Kathryn Ervin, a theater arts professor at Cal State San Bernardino, and Carl Dameron, an owner of a public relations firm, are scheduled to emcee the 19th annual Black Rose and Humanitarian of the Year Awards on Sept. 26 in San Bernardino.

The San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation presents the annual Black Rose Awards to honor lifetime achievements by local people who have done things that benefit the community.

There are three categories at the awards: the Black Rose, the Commitment to Community Service of the Year and the Humanitarian of the Year. The awards are an opportunity to identify and acknowledge many local leaders, and to encourage their participation in activities that help their community. Past recipients include developer John Dukes of Dukes, Dukes and Associates.

The Foundation is selling tickets to the awards ceremony for $50 each. Tables of 10 may be reserved for $500. The award ceremony starts at 6 p.m. in Valencia Room at the National Orange Show, 689 South E St., San Bernardino.
