In Honor of Black History Month

Evocati PR is joining the nation in observance of #BlackHistoryMonth.

For nearly 50 years February has marked a month-long celebration of black history, culture, and contributions to our country and globe.

Evocati PR prides itself on its unique mission: PR with a Purpose and supporting underserved communities. With that mission in mind, we want to reflect on our work with Fayetteville State University, a top HBCU for military-connected students, and a former Evocati PR client.

FSU and Evocati PR worked together in 2022 to showcase the institution as a leading HBCU for military-connected students through a new initiative: free tuition to qualifying military-connected students.

"As a veteran and father of two biracial children, nothing brings more pride than looking back on what we accomplished for FSU and Bronco Nation," said Barrett Y. Bogue, President & Founder at Evocati PR. "As we continue to honor the contributions of Black Americans, let's not forget the powerful example FSU has set as a leader in advancing educational opportunities for underserved communities."  

Through this partnership and our work, FSU garnered 200 million earned and social media impressions in six months and was featured in The Washington Post, Military Times, and more. The response to this landmark initiative was extraordinary. FSU received over 600 new applications for the scholarship in less than sixty days and announced its largest overall enrollment in over 20 years in Fall 2022 while surpassing its previous record of enrolled military-connected students to over 2,000.

Evocati PR is proud of its work with Fayetteville State University and supports the Black community.
