The Tom Joyner Foundation Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary

by Michelle J. Nealy , August 28, 2008

Over the years the foundation has garnered a bulk of corporate support from ExxonMobil, Budweiser, DaimlerChrysler and Denny’s.

Through a partnership kicked off in January, TJF and Denny’s have awarded more than $40,000 to 27 single-parent scholars attending Black colleges as part of a yearlong effort to create new opportunities for the parents and their children. Winners of the Tom Joyner Foundation and Denny’s Single Parent Student Scholarship receive $1,500 grants toward their education. A new grant winner is awarded every week in 2008.

“Our partnership with Denny’s is something that really means a lot to me,” said Joyner, “We’re helping these students to stay in school and giving them a chance to pursue their dreams.”
