SPONSORED BY THE COMMUNITY
I Heart My HBCU was created because we know that it takes an entire community to create change. And we know that it can feel like one person alone will never make a difference. But I Heart My HBCU is changing that as we bring people together through their support of HBCUs to build an association based on wanting to connect and provide. Together we can use spare change to make change.
