“Since the charitable education

        program was officially established
        in 1997, the Chicago Football

        Classic Scholarship Fund, Inc.,

        has demonstrated an outstanding
        commitment to education equality,

        becoming one of the city’s most

        effective scholarship organizations.

        How? By raising and awarding over
        $3 million in financial assistance

        during the past two decades for

        local students seeking to attend one
        of the nation’s Historically Black

        Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

        Thanks to the dynamic mission                                          Danny Davis
        of the Chicago Football Classic                                           Representative

        Scholarship Fund, Inc., many highly                                    United States of America

        motivated and underrepresented
        students, who otherwise might

        not have the financial means and

        other critical support, became able

        to successfully matriculate into
        postsecondary education, eventually

        realizing their dream of becoming

        college graduates.”
