She’s Got Game: Kendra Bulluck-Major Talks Owning the Orange Blossom Classic, One Of HBCU Football’s Most Iconic Traditions [Exclusive] - Page 3

What do you hope people say about your work in the OBC—10, 20, or even 50 years from now?

I hope people say, “She’s the one who brought it back,” but more importantly, I want the Classic to still be going strong long after I’m gone. I want people to say, “This young woman is running it now,” or maybe even, “Kendra’s kids are continuing her legacy.” I don’t want it to stop with me. With support from the community, our partners, and ticket buyers, my hope is that the Orange Blossom Classic becomes a permanent fixture in the HBCU conversation—just like the Bayou Classic or the Magic City Classic. Right now, we’re still the baby of the group, but I want OBC to grow into something iconic.

What does legacy mean to you?

Legacy means creating something that lasts beyond you. Something that serves others even when you’re no longer in the room. For me, the Orange Blossom Classic is about legacy—not just mine, but for the community, for HBCUs, and for every young Black student who needs to know they matter, that their culture matters, and that they can dream big.

For those who want to support or get involved, how can they connect?

The best way is through our website: orangeblossomclassic.com. Sign up for our mailing list—you’ll get early access to tickets and updates. You can also follow us on social media—Twitter, Instagram, Facebook—@OrangeBlossomFC. If you want to volunteer, partner, or become a sponsor, all of that information is available online. We’re always looking for people who want to be a part of what we’re building.
