“UPMC Health plan agreed to co-sponsor this years contest. The program was going to be suspended this year for lack of sponsors. However the numerous calls and emails from students, parents and teachers helped decide to keep it going,” stated Russell Bynum, president of Bynums Marketing and Communications, Inc. and creator of the program.
“I greatly appreciate UPMC’s involvement. The purpose of this event is to celebrate and learn about African American History and to encourage understanding among all Americans,” said Kathy Bynum, vice president of Bynums Marketing.
