February Cheyney Challenge

Cheyney stamped its 186th birthday in a big way this month. Aside from Founder's Day, here are two of them:

According to ESPN Front Row, the Lady Wolves were the first HBCU basketball program -- men's or women's -- to play in a Division I Final Four Championship. "The Lone Wolves" -- about that 1982 squad -- premiered on SportsCenter yesterday.

And in honor of Black History Month, Urban Outfitters is selling limited-edition Cheyney merch designed in part by Mitchell & Ness. All proceeds go to Cheyney.

​At any rate, please join the #CheyneyChallenge, a monthly donation campaign for America's first HBCU. I made my most recent donation of $18.37 today.

The Cheyney Challenge is an initiative of alumnus Mr. Bright. I committed to it on WURD's Radio Courtroom in 2015, and began donating the following year. ​
