UNCF Celebrates An Evening of Stars ® Sponsors

Three cheers to Target, McDonald’s, Toyota, AT&T, American Airlines and Wachovia for providing educational opportunities for deserving minority students. What an honor to partner with a group of corporations who believe that every young student has a potential for greatness. Education is key. They, like UNCF, believe that “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”®

Our sponsors are an incredible group of visionaries committed to minority education. Thanks to their critical support, the curtain goes up on the 30th anniversary of An Evening of Stars ®. UNCF appreciates the time, effort and resources that each sponsor makes available.

An Evening of Stars ® Tribute to Patti LaBelle is Presented by Target. Target first became a sponsor five years ago during the show’s 25th anniversary. National sponsors are McDonald’s, Toyota and AT&T. Together they represent more than 30 years of support! Wachovia is the VIP Hospitality Sponsor -- graciously supporting the show for four years. American Airlines is the official airline to An Evening of Stars ®. The company has supported the show for 25 years!

When we think of commitment, we think of donors and sponsors together creating a network that supports young scholars. Even through challenging economic times, they hold true to the mission. Supporting minority education is good for America’s workforce. It’s an investment in the country’s future. Our students are valuable assets. An Evening of Stars ® encourages young people to stay the course. And we hope it will encourage our audience to give as generously as the sponsors who make it all happen.
