September 2, 3 & 4, 2022
VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE DESCRIPTIONS
The 2022 Black College Football Hall of Fame Classic consists of five major events between September 2-4, 2022. These events rely on 200 community volunteers to support them. Volunteer opportunities range from behind-the-scenes planning and production to working directly with the teams, bands and Black Jackets (a term to reference living members of the Black College Football Hall of Fame) as Canton hosts thousands of guests in our community.
The descriptions below should help you decide which committee matches with your interests, skills and abilities. If you have any questions, please contact Mark Prosise, Director of Team Development at the Pro Football Hall of Fame [email protected].
