(DALLAS) — Calling all coaches! Calling all volunteer coaches for the next Super Bowl of brain teasers and crowd pleasers!
It’s time once again to help young African-American men make the grade in a competition that will test their brain power and their academic skills in the Dallas County Community College District’s second annual
African American Male Academic Bowl.
Participants and their coaches are “Aiming for the Stars” in this event, which is presented by DCCCD, Project Still I Rise Inc. and the University of Texas at Dallas. The program will feature a day of intense competition and mental focus by several hundred African-American young men in grades 4 through 7 who attend school in Dallas County.
Facts will fly, answers will make or break the competition, and teams will face off during the day-long event, which begins at 9 a.m. This program — now an annual event — is designed to encourage young African-American men to study hard, work hard and achieve their dreams ... to aim high and succeed.
