UNCF hosts ’38th Annual Walk for Education’

After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) hosted their 38th Annual UNCF Milwaukee Walk for Education. The walk was held August 27, 2022, against the beautiful lakefront backdrop of Veteran’s Park, 1010 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr. This year’s Honorary Chairperson was Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson who kicked off the event and welcomed everyone back to UNCF’s Walk to raise funds for our city’s deserving college students. He was joined by County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Marcelia N. Nicholson. This year the walk raised more than $147,000 for African American students who are pursuing higher education. Although the UNCF walk is over, you can still support this year’s effort until September 30 by visiting their website at https://uncf.org/events/2022-uncf-national-walk-for-education-milwaukee.
