Panthers Owner Donates $250K To Historically Black College

The Carolina Panthers are continuing their undefeated season off the field with something special from their owner.

According to The Charlotte Observer, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson recently donated $250,000 to Historically Black University, Johnson C. Smith University.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has donated $250,000 to the Johnson C. Smith University President’s Gap scholarship fund that helps students with college costs, the school announced Tuesday.

The scholarship was created in 2012 to close gaps students face between financial aid and tuition costs. Cameron Harris, a JCSU trustee and minority owner of the Panthers, helped secure the gift.

Richardson, the school said, was quick to respond when he heard of the need. His donation will help provide education, internships and employment opportunities for students who otherwise might have been shut out of a college education because their families can’t afford it.

“When it comes to paying college tuition, many families are left distressed, or have to leave their dreams behind altogether,” Richardson said in a statement. “Our hope is that this gift will help (JCSU) open doors for more families and continue to be a place that affects change in people through education.”

The Carolina Panthers are no strangers to the Carolina’s communities. Its even better to see Richardson help out HBCU’s, something that you don’t see too often from men of his stature.

That's cool he donated to a HBCU, but why aren't Alma Mater graduates donating to their own institutions?

JCSU has a lot of internships with corporations in the Charlotte area (they pimp out their students like fukk, i'm talking ill-prepared, maybeyou'llgetlucky, unpaid lol - but NASCAR, Wachovia, etc is definitely meeting their affirmative action quotas). They have a lot of networking going on but its.... not directly beneficial to their students at all. But JCSU has had a lot of student tie-in and support for the Panthers and Bobcats/Hornets. I know both have had the band play, among other things. So its nice that Jerry is down to actually contribute.

I know the Panthers had a lot of walk-ons and try outs from JCSU in the past too. Think they helped one of our receivers get looks in preseason a couple of years back. Steve Smith used to work out with our football team too.
