Why You Should Stop By For Lunch

To Support the HBCU College Tour

So, here’s the thing.
The annual HBCU Tour is an exceptional opportunity for deserving student that is unique to our region. It’s on the short list of the very best programs made available to Beloit Memorial Students thanks to the Hendrix sisters, both HBCU graduates themselves who returned to Beloit to help the next generation.

So there’s that.
You’ll also be treated to some excellent Soul Fool.

Proceeds from the luncheon will go to support students attending the Rising Knights HBCU College Tour. The “Rising Knights HBCU College Tour” strives to stimulate an interest, among select students, in attending one of the public or privately supported HBCU’s. The long term objective of the project is to develop the ways and means to assure that qualified BMHS high school students become familiar with the historic mission of Black Colleges and Universities and their broad range of high quality educational programs and academic fields.

Another objective is to identify students who would especially benefit from the stimulating and supportive learning environments so characteristic of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

By participating in this fundraiser, you will be helping 35 young people in their pursuit of higher education!
