Wilberforce University is the nation’s oldest private, historically black University owned and operated by African Americans. Its roots trace back to its founding in 1856, a period of American history marred by the physical bondage of people of African descent. It was also a period when the education of African Americans was not only socially prohibited but was illegal. Today Wilberforce is an institution situated at the intersection of a noteworthy history and a promising future.

The Greater Charlotte Chapter of the Wilberforce University Alumni Association is sponsoring this fundraiser to raise money for our beloved Alma Mater and to support aspiring and deserving students to enter and succeed in college. All proceeds will go to Wilberforce University, so you are on the front line in helping to support our HBCU with your purchase..
