The Sterling Steward Sneaker Contest

As part of the evening's festivities, guests will have the opportunity to participate in the Sterling Steward Sneaker Contest, honoring the legacy, vision, and spirit of the late Sterling Steward. Known for his creativity, style, energy, and passion for bringing people together, Sterling helped establish this signature fundraising event to support Morgan State University Athletics and create memorable experiences for alumni and supporters. Guests are encouraged to showcase their best sneaker game while dressed in chic all-white attire. Whether classic, designer, custom, vintage, or bold statement sneakers, this contest celebrates individuality, culture, fashion, and Bear Pride. Winners will receive special recognition and prizes during the evening. All tickets provide entry into the sneaker contest.

All proceeds will go towards our Champions Fund at the Morgan State University Foundation.
