Building Something That Gives Back
At Lucille’s Snoballs, we believe that building a successful business means building a stronger community. After two successful years of operations, our goal is to begin dedicating a portion of proceeds to support HBCU-bound students right here in Metro Detroit.
Education is legacy — and for us, it’s personal. Our founder, Raquel Ne’Cole, is a proud HBCU graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana, one of the nation’s most celebrated HBCUs. But it goes even deeper than that. Our family carries over three generations of HBCU greatness — a tradition of excellence, community, and achievement that lives in everything we do. That legacy is exactly why we chose HBCU-bound students as the heart of our giving initiative. We’re not just writing a check — we’re investing in the same kind of transformative education that shaped our family.
Every booking, every cup, every event brings us one step closer. When you support Lucille’s, you’re investing in a legacy that will give back.
Our founder is a proud HBCU grad. Our family carries 3+ generations of HBCU excellence. Supporting HBCU-bound Metro Detroit students isn’t just charity — it’s personal.
Our giving program is planned to launch after two successful years of operations. Support us now and be part of what makes it possible.
Please note: Our giving program is a Year 2+ initiative. We are focused on building a strong, sustainable foundation in our first two years before we begin formal charitable contributions. This is our promise for what comes next.
