NEW YORK, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Black History Month, Wendy Williams, the Queen of All Media, and Barc, the leader in grooming products for African-American men, today announced a month-long fundraising effort to benefit Atlanta's Morehouse College.

Wendy Williams will be announcing the fundraising effort daily on her radio show "The Wendy William's Experience," weekdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Morehouse is an all-male, historically black institution. Some of Morehouse's most prominent alumni include; civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., film and television director Spike Lee, Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson and former U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher.

"We are very excited to be partnering with Barc on this very important fundraising effort," says Wendy Williams, the host of nationally syndicated "The Wendy Williams Experience."

"Morehouse is an important institution and Barc is proud to partner with Wendy Williams to help raise awareness for the opportunities they offer African-American males," says Christopher Hayes, CEO of Barc.

Barc's Bump Down razor bump relief lotion and Cutting Up shaving cream, which are made especially for African American men, are available at www.GetBarc.com as well as national and online retailers.
