Fishing for Funding
Over the past years the comedian Bill Cosby has been making donations to Black colleges. Now his position has changed, as Cosby says“I don’t want to be in the check-writing business anymore. What I want to do is to teach people how to fish.” His first step is a challenge to Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio. He promised that if the university could raise $2 million by April 1, he would perform free of charge in a benefit for the university at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus
The money has already been raised and the benefit concert is scheduled for April 18. More than $250,000 will be raised from ticket sales. The money raised will be used to strengthen academic programs, enhance learning facilities, and to expand merit- and need-based scholarship programs
