Sponsors

Donations to charity can come from a variety of sources—from corporations, from individuals, and from communities of people. Many different organizations, including social groups, sports teams, service organizations, religious institutions, and groups of individuals with some shared concern, such as a love for animals or desire to address a particular social issue, can work together to support a specific charity or a variety of charitable causes. Clubs, teams, and other groups sell items or otherwise raise money to support philanthropic activities.

Diabetes is one of the most serious health risks facing African-Americans. One in nine has the disease, and African-Americans are more likely to develop disabilities from diabetes than Caucasian-Americans.

United States statistics show...

One-third of African-American students at four year universities had an annual income of $20,000. Against these odds, African-American students continue to value a college education and prove themselves competitive, but your help is truly needed.
