More than 300 people gathered on October 10, 2018 to recognize outstanding alumni from Milwaukee Public Schools. Nine men and women plus a corporate partner were honored for their exemplary careers, community work, and support of Milwaukee Public Schools.
Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Italian Community Center and were treated to entertainment by R&B/jazz duo B~Free & Quinten Farr, as well as the Rufus King High School Drumline. Following dessert, a set from DJ Tarik Moody of 88Nine Radio Milwaukee helped keep the celebration going.
The evening, which included a live auction, raised approximately $120,000 for students in Milwaukee Public Schools. If you missed the event and would like to donate or receive news from the MPS Foundation, visit https://www.mpsfoundation.net/Donate.htm
