What
does this mean?
This
means that the national radio celebrity and philanthropist, Mr. Tom
Joyner, will highlight Claflin University for the entire month of
January to help solicit donations from alumni, corporate sponsors,
and the 7 million listeners of the Tom Joyner Morning Show. The Tom
Joyner Morning Show airs in 115 markets, including the Caribbean and
the Armed Forces Network. Tom Joyner will award scholarships during
the Morning Show to Claflin students in January.
The
Tom Joyner Foundation is dedicated to assisting Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in their efforts to raise funds
for student scholarships and other institutional needs. The Foundation’s
ultimate vision is to support every HBCU in the United States, providing
higher education for the best and brightest students.
Selection
as the HBCU of the Month provides a tremendous opportunity for Claflin
University to attract national attention and significantly increase
its donations to the institution. Our goal is to raise $500,000 in
donations. And we need your assistance in making this campaign a success!
