Why 70 for 70

Honor the first. Invest in who comes next.

Seventy years after the Precursors opened a door, we are coming together to hold it open for the next generation.

01

In 1956, the Precursors became the first Black undergraduate students to enroll at The University of Texas at Austin.

02

Seventy years later, BAN is honoring their courage by strengthening the Legacy Scholarship Fund.

03

The Hornsmen Collective is bringing together 100 people, families, and companies to move the legacy forward.

What does one percent look like?

One commitment can become part of something much larger.
