HBCU NY Classic
Our CSO, Mr. Andrew Baker, is also the Co-Founder of the HBCU NY Football Classic, which takes place annually at MetLife Stadium. This year's game will be on September 14, 2024. A portion of the proceeds from the game and HBCU Week NYC ancillary events will go to assist with paying for student and band members' education from the participating schools.
HBCU Tour
We will be organizing an HBCU Classic Tour to all 107 HBCU schools to provide internship and job opportunities to HBCU students. Our goal is to hire 100 graduates from each school to reach our goal of creating 40,000 new jobs for our economy by 2030.
Farm to Table
The days of eating Ramen Noodles and peanut butter and jelly are not far behind. At TABF, we believe that quality education starts with getting access to quality food. We are focused on connecting HBCU students directly from our foundation farm foods. We will be hiring from the surrounding community and we will be providing scholarships to HBCU Students who want to major in Agriculture & Clean Energy Technology.
Affordable Housing
The Andrew Baker Foundation is dedicated to creating lasting solutions for veterans in our community facing difficult circumstances. Our job development center will provide tools and opportunities for veterans to succeed. We strive to reduce homelessness and poverty in Georgia through affordable housing and job development resources.
Kids STEAM Program
TABF will collaborate with ESPOIR to provide S.T.E.A.M. services for underprivileged kids in the Westbury, NY community. This collaboration will help improve the quality of education for over 100+ kids. The collaboration will also create paid internships for HBCU students and summer work for high school students. In addition, TABF will be bringing students from all five (5) boroughs, New Jersey, and Connecticut to attend the HBCU NY Football Classic.
Clean Neighbor
Each month we will be collaborating with organizations to clean up urban neighborhoods. Cleaner neighborhoods mean better air quality, which leads to better health, which leads to businesses coming to the area which leads to more job opportunities.
