“Are you ready for some HBCU Football?”

If so, then you don’t want to miss the Chicago Football Classic in Chicago, IL happening on the 2nd Saturday in September!

In 1997, a small local group of African- American businessmen Larry Huggins, Everett Rand, and Tim Rand formed the Chicago Football Classic (CFC) as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to encouraging African- American youth to achieve their personal best in school and beyond.

The Chicago Football Classic’s mission is to inspire African-American high school and college students through support for programs, initiatives, and events that increase awareness of opportunities to achieve educational excellence. CFC events influence students and parents to consider the rich academic and cultural opportunities offered by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).

The Chicago Football Classic (CFC) kicks off this year at Soldier Field on Saturday, September 10th, 2016 in Chicago, IL. Kick-off time for the Football Classic is at 3:30pm.

The Chicago Football Classic showcases football teams and marching bands from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). This year’s game features, the Clark Atlanta University Panthers and the Central State University Of Ohio Marauders! Both football teams represent the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC).

See who will be crowned “Kings Of The Turf” coming up the 2nd Saturday in September in the Windy City!
