MillerCoors Sponsorship Of Bank Of America Atlanta Football Classic Helps At-Risk Youth Win At Life
Project Success helps students raise their academic performance
MillerCoors and 100 Black Men of Atlanta teamed up for education this past weekend during the Bank of America Atlanta Football Classic’s 20th anniversary game.
MillerCoors, through its sponsorship of the Classic, helped 100 Black Men of Atlanta raise millions of dollars for its Project Success scholarship program. Project Success helps provide at-risk African American youth with post-secondary preparation and tuition assistance – so they can concentrate on getting an education, not how they will pay for it.
Moses Brewer, MillerCoors multicultural relations manager, said: “Project Success is a perfect example of the type of high-reach, high-impact community outreach program that MillerCoors believes benefits the communities we serve. There’s a clear synergy between the goals of Project Success and the values of our company. I think we all envision a time where every person has the opportunity to achieve her or his full potential.” He noted that Project Success is an important step in that direction.
According to John Grant, Jr., CEO of the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, MillerCoors support has helped Project Success provide scholarships to help students raise their levels of academic performance. “Our students enjoy learning and become productive members of society,” he said.
