Chicago Football Classic wants to know—Are you ready to virtually Stomp the Yard!! This year would have marked our 23rd year for our historical HBCU football game. Unfortunately, due to COVID we had to postpone the game.

Please plan to join us Tuesday-Saturday for a week of learning and fun! See attached flier for details. We hope that you are able to join us along with your students and their families! Detailed information and registration for the full week is available at www.chicagofootballclassic.org
