Howard Homecoming Sponsorship Opportunity

Howard Homecoming Sponsorship Opportunity
Posted By: Will Moss on July 14, 2011

It's almost time for Howard University Homecoming 2011!

This year we are reaching out to selected partners to join us in sponsoring this annual event where more than 100,000 people gather to celebrate the rich history and legacy of this historical institution.
