New York Urban League Football Classic

We would like to share with you that the New York Urban League Board of Directors has decided to not host a Football Classic this Fall. This difficult decision was made because while many individual community and family members (including our own) showed great interest in supporting the game, we do not have the sponsorship support to make the Football Classic financially successful. Over the next few months we will be creating a task force to see how we can reinvigorate the Football Classic and bring it to new audiences in the future.

In the meantime, the New York Urban League is still committed to raising money to support the Whitney M. Young, Jr Scholarship Fund, and fight the roll back of important services and supports during this challenging political time.

If you make a donation to the annual fund of $50 or more before July 5th at midnight, your donation will be entered in a drawing* to win: A pair of Yankees Suite Level tickets for July 31st at 7:00pm (vs. Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium)** a $250 value AND get the priceless experience of going onto Yankee Field during the game.

There are 8,000 people within New York City who rely on our services and the generosity of individuals like you. Let’s stand together and make a difference.

You are one of our strongest supporters and we need your support more than ever. Please take a moment and donate $25, $50, $100, $250 or more to our annual fund.

*Winners will be contacted via email by July 7; must claim by July 14.

**Travel to game not included.

We would like to share with you that the 2016 Football Classic is postponed to 2017. We made this difficult decision because while many people showed great interest in supporting the game, their budgets did not allow them to support at the levels we had hoped for this year. But our prospects are bright for 2017! Next year’s game will be a part of Howard University’s and Morgan State University’s 150th Year Celebration. We will continue to engage with you regarding potential opportunities for the Game in 2017.

In the meantime, the New York Urban League is still committed to raising money to support the Whitney M. Young, Jr Scholarship Fund. This year we will be hosting a suite fundraiser at Yankee Stadium in August and a brunch in September. Information will be forthcoming, and we hope you will join us.
