A Celebration of Culture, Community & Youth Empowerment

Written By Khay Kare

The Spirit of the Classic

The HBCUNY Classic brought thousands together this September for a vibrant celebration of HBCU culture. From the tailgate to the halftime show, the event was filled with music, pride, and unity.

Why It Matters to Khay Kare

For Khay Kare Youth Wellness & Empowerment Program (YWEP), the Classic wasn’t just about the game—it was about celebrating identity, heritage, and resilience. These values are the heart of our work:

  • 🧘🏾 Wellness: Creating safe spaces for youth expression

  • 🎨 Identity: Encouraging cultural pride and creativity

  • 💡 Empowerment: Building leaders for tomorrow

  • 🌍 Community: Connecting across generations

What’s Next for Fall 2025

We’re carrying this spirit forward into our fall programming:

  • Mindful Mondays – youth-centered wellness workshops

  • Arts & Identity Circles – exploring culture & creativity

  • Legacy Lab – storytelling & heritage building

  • Hiking with Khay – nature, movement & mindfulne

The HBCUNY Classic reminded us that when we come together, we empower youth to thrive.
