At a time when education is under attack, resources are shrinking, and our history is being erased, The Blue & White Foundation remains unwavering in our commitment to Chicago’s youth.

For over a decade, we’ve leveled the playing field by providing scholarships, mentorship, and pathways to higher education. As federal funding declines and affirmative action is dismantled, we are stepping up—creating opportunities where barriers exist.

Through the Harold Washington Book Voucher Program, we help students overcome financial hurdles in college. Our Annual HBCU College Tour exposes Chicago’s youth to the legacy and excellence of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. At our Annual Scholarship Luncheon, we raise and award critical funds so students can pursue their dreams—without financial barriers.

To our students: We believe in you. To our donors and partners: Your support is an act of defiance against inequality. To our mentors and volunteers: Now is the time to stand in the gap.

We can’t wait for policies to change or funding to return—we must be the solution. Join us in this fight: sponsor a student’s college tour, donate to the Book Voucher Fund, or support our summer golf fundraiser.

Together, let’s ensure our students, our history, and our opportunities continue to thrive. The future belongs to those who refuse to be left behind.

With unwavering commitment,
