HELPING STUDENTS GO TO AND THROUGH COLLEGE
As students across America settle into a new semester, a dedicated cast of sponsors and Hollywood celebrities have once again devoted time and resources to ask the country to help students go to and through college. Now in its 34th year, UNCF An Evening of Stars® has won three NAACP Image awards and has become a music industry tradition: superstars rallying America to help students get the education they need and that the nation needs them to have.
UNCF An Evening of Stars® is made possible through the support of Target, the show's presenting sponsor. National sponsor McDonald's. Official sponsors American Airlines, Wells Fargo and Buick. Major sponsors are Anheuser-Busch, AT&T and the U.S. Army. The media partner is Clear Channel.
UNCF and BET Networks have joined forces for a second year to produce UNCF An Evening of Stars® and bring awareness and raise scholarship funds. The two-hour special will shine a spotlight on students and honor those who are making strides to achieve their dreams through education. The show will highlight students who have made the commitment to be the best they can be both in school and as future leaders of our country.
UNCF An Evening of Stars® airs in syndication on local stations Saturday, January 26 and Sunday, January 27 (check local listings). The show also airs on Sunday, January 27 on BET at 10:00pm ET and on Centric at 12:00am.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. UNCF An Evening of Stars® has summoned a cast of stars and celebrities, a studio audience and millions of Americans to educate many, many students—to educate our future.
Every kid deserves the chance to reach their highest potential. That's why Target is on track to reach $1 billion in giving to education, with a focus on reading, by the end of 2015. We partner with UNCF to provide program support and scholarships – helping diverse students achieve their educational goals and reach their potential.
