Black Colleges Receive Financial Boost From Beer Company

Historically Black Colleges need rejoice as alcohol giant MillerCoors has decided to adorn their hollowed educational halls with financial support.

In a philanthropic move, Coors Brewing Company has donated $1.3 million to the Thurgood Marshal College Fund, which has traditionally been an economic force on the HBCU scene.

“As the founding corporate sponsor, MillerCoors recognizes the importance of supporting the next generation of political leaders, entrepreneurs, and CEOs,” said Larry Waters, director of multicultural relations at Miller Coors.

All donated funds will go toward programmatic support, capacity-building, leadership development, and scholarship support at various colleges and universities.
