History & Information
Through generous support of The Farmers Insurance Group, elected officials, community leaders, educational
leaders, local businesses & event participants, the Farmers Angel City Classic offers valuable scholarships
to help deserving recipients gain a college education.
With your continued sponsorship, patron support
and ticket purchases we can only see further growth and success in providing much needed and well deserved
scholarship awards for future generations of youth from our community.
From world famous musicians
and actors, to leading political figures; from large corporate sponsors to numerous smaller community businesses,
The Farmers Insurance Group Angel City Classic has been blessed with an outpouring of supportive fans. Our
Scholarship Gala brings parties together for a wonderful evening dedicated to celebrating our youth & future
generation of leaders.
Each year the growth of this L.A. tradition is the direct result of more
people and businesses from L.A. to the East Coast to the Deep South who recognize the unique level of exposure,
support and reward an event like this brings to the Los Angeles community.
We showcase a genuine southern-style
Battle of the Bands and exciting football game featuring two of the finest HBCU's in the country, Prairie
View A&M and Morehouse College. When you add in a full day of festivities, that begins with a vendor festival and
career fair, and end with a soulful Fifth Quartet concert, you have an event rarely seen this side of the Mississippi.
The NAACP urges you to register to vote and to make sure that your family, friends and neighbors are registered. We are asking that all Long Beach Branch members personally register one voter per month.
