Yolanda Adams Performing at the 34th Edition of UNCF’s “An Evening of Stars”

UNCF (United Negro College Fund) and BET Networks have announced that actor and comedian Anthony Anderson, a star of the new NBC sit-com Guys With Kids, will emcee the 34th edition of UNCF An Evening of Stars® Educating our Future Presented by Target.  UNCF will partner with BET Networks to produce and air the nationally televised variety show that focuses public attention on America’s need for more African American college graduates and UNCF’s work getting students to and through college.  UNCF An Evening of Stars® Educating our Future Presented by Target will be taped before a live audience on December 1, 2012 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and will air nationally in syndication and on the BET Network, Saturday, January 26 and Sunday, January 27, 2013 respectively.

Amazing performances and appearances are in store by some of the hottest names in entertainment including; Chaka Khan, Yolanda Adams, Charlie Wilson, Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, Tyrese Gibson, Melanie Fiona, Eric Benet, Tracee Ellis Ross, Keenan Ivory Wayans and many more.

“UNCF is delighted that Anthony Anderson has agreed to make our cause his cause, introducing the stars who will grace the UNCF An Evening of Stars® stage,” said UNCF president and CEO Michael L. Lomax, Ph.D., “the music industry stars who will entertain the studio and TV audiences, and the ‘student stars’—the high achieving students who, thanks to UNCF, are getting the education they need to compete in the 21st century economy.  The country is facing a crisis in African American education, and UNCF and BET are determined to do something about it.”

UNCF, the country’s largest and most effective minority education organization, supports the education of more than 60,000 students each year. A recent study by UNCF’s Patterson Research Institute showed that UNCF’s 38 member historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) out-perform many non-HBCUs at enrolling and graduating low-income students.  UNCF’s largest scholarship program, the Gates Millennium Scholars Program, has a 90 percent graduation rate among its 13,000 low-income minority students, a significantly higher rate than the national college graduation rate.

“We are excited to again partner with UNCF on their annual show and we couldn’t ask for a more talented or better suited host than Anthony Anderson for UNCF An Evening Stars,” said Stephen Hill, President of Music and Specials Programming, BET Networks. “Education has always been important to BET and we love that we get to put our time and talent where our heart is to produce this show.” 

The UNCF-BET co-production is the second in a partnership that began last year and set the precedent for an exciting and informative show with show-stopping performances by entertainers and “student stars” alike.  Throughout the program, some of the biggest names in entertainment, education, politics and sports will help deliver the important message: Educating our future is our responsibility.  Students will take their own “star turns,” sharing their moving and inspiring stories about how the education support they have received from UNCF has changed their lives.  Together, stars and students will remind viewers that it is only with the assistance of UNCF and charitable donations that today’s students can become tomorrow’s leaders.

The other factor is that when a problem occurs with a laptop or computer motherboard, people should not go ahead and take risk of repairing the item themselves for if it is not done correctly it can lead to irreparable damage to the whole laptop. It’s usually safe just to approach a dealer of any laptop for that repair of that motherboard. They’ve technicians who definitely have an skills in dealing with laptop motherboard problems and can have the right prognosis and undertake repairs.

    I think that a home foreclosure can have a significant effect on the debtor’s life. Foreclosures can have a Several to a decade negative relation to a debtor’s credit report. A borrower that has applied for a home loan or any kind of loans for example, knows that the particular worse credit rating is actually, the more tough it is to obtain a decent personal loan. In addition, it could affect the borrower’s power to find a reasonable place to lease or rent, if that becomes the alternative housing solution. Thanks for your blog post.
