MillerCoors Gives $1.3M To Support Black Colleges
From Denver.BizJournals.com:
MillerCoors — the North American marketing arm of Colorado’s Molson Coors Brewing Co. — said Wednesday it has donated $1.3 million to support 47 historically black public colleges and universities.
The donation is to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which raises money for the colleges, and will be used to support leadership development, programmatic support, scholarship and capacity-building at the 47 schools.
The fund has awarded about $100 million in support of students attending the colleges over the last 22 years.
“As the founding corporate sponsor, MillerCoors recognizes the importance of supporting the next generation of political leaders, entrepreneurs and CEOs,” Larry Waters, TMCF board member and MillerCoors director of multicultural relations, said in a statement. “And this donation is just an example of our continued and unwavering commitment to encouraging the dreams and aspirations of students.”

« Previous 1 2Some of u are retarded. How can someone find something negative to say about a contribution for good cause???
DAMN@Howard..that’s what im talking about.
im glad that it did happen money is money and the fact that a beer company did it first i dont buy beer but im happy that the money people did spend some of it went to a good thing the bad some times come with the good
BabyBoy1603 makes my point… Why can’t the people we support, support us back?
BEER COMPANY THOUGH? WHAT’S NEXT BLUNT COMPANYS MAKING CONTRIBUTION. NO OTHER COMPANIES DONATING 2 HBCUS THOUGH. WOW. WHAT BOUT HAIR PRODUCT COMPANIES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT WE INVEST SO MUCH IN.
The Question should be how do you feel about the black college foundations, taking not giving, the money from miller/coors?
