than 200 schools across the nation hosting a game in this campaign.
“We encourage you to save the
date,” said Dwight Datcher, athletics director at Howard. “Howard
University is excited about this event where kids from the
community will have a chance to be apart of our game day experience
and support NCAA Football’s Take A Kid to the GameÒ program.
This game day experience is an opportunity for children to spend
quality time with a parent or role model and learn about
sportsmanship that can be demonstrated on the playing field.”
