In 1987, the director of the Office for the Advancement of Public Black Colleges of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, and a representative of Miller Brewing Company, determined the need for a merit-based scholarship program. After consultation with other educators and business leaders, it was agreed that the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund should be built upon the criterion of academic excellence.

Historically black public colleges can be traced back to 1837 with the establishment of Cheyney State College (now Cheyney University) in Pennsylvania. As a graduate of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, the late Justice Thurgood Marshall knew first-hand, the importance of historically black public colleges in providing African American students:with academic challenges and opportunities for creative and intellectual growth. Annually, six public black colleges produce more than 20 percent of all African American bachelor of science degree recipients in enginering:and graduate over 70 percent of all black degree recipients in agricultural sciences

Hi !

We're Jimmy (Jam) and Terry Lewis of Flyte Tyme Productions.

We have had the pleasure of producing numerous top-recording acts over theyears. We have also received major awards and accolades for our song writing skills. As we are sure with many of you, outside recognition and praise does little to fullfill desire. We also recognize that your time is valuable and very limited.

On the note of valuable time we ask that you join us in contributing to the Flyte Tyme/Thurgood Marshall Celebrity Golf Classic. The event will be held on Saturday, November 6th at Pelican Hill Golf Club Newport Coast. You will have a wonderful weekend of various activities while making a difference in a student's life.

It gives me great pride to invite you to attend the first annual Fyte Tyme/Thurgood Marshall Celebrity Golf Classic. Miller Brewing Company values the importance of higher education and has supported that belief through its continued support of the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund.

Miller, as co-founder, and my personal involvement as Chairman of the Board, brought us to the realization that much work needs to be done to insure that talented and gifted-students need not be kept ~ from, realizing their academic goals because of insufficient financial resources.

I hope that you can join us on Saturday, November 6th, at the beautiful Pelican Hills Golf Club, where a great day of golf can be guranteed, and throuth your contribution students future success can be achieved.
Virgis W. Colbert

Executive Vice President, Miller Brewing Company
