100
DAYS UNTIL 5TH ANNUAL 'DATING GAME' SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISER
|
Milwaukee - The Milwaukee Urban League Young Professionals are gearing
up for its 5th Annual 'Dating Game' Scholarship Fundraiser. The
event will take place on Friday, February 12, 2010 from 8:00pm to 12:00am at
the Bavarian Inn Glendale, 700 W. Lexington Boulevard. 'Dating Game 2009'
raised over $3500 dollars for its Dr. Wesley L. Scott Scholarship Fundraiser for
students that displayed outstanding academic achievement.
"We have become successful in making the Dating Game a
staple in the young professionals' circuit; it's an event that people come to
expect. Five years is a short amount of time, but it's long enough to become
impactful, and long enough to breed longevity to fuel its objective. In 5 years
we have been successful in helping send over 20 students to college, and awarding
over $13,000 dollars in scholarships. We're able to remain resilient in
an ailing economy where many non-profits are struggling fiscally. Our
dedication has lead us to streamline initiatives, to ensure our focal agendas'
success," said Richard Badger, Milwaukee Urban League Young Professionals
President.
The 100 day countdown will consist of 'Dating Game'
sponsorship solicitations locally, print, social media, and e-mail news
updates, in addition to selecting event participants. As the event draws
closer; aggressive marketing efforts will be exhibited in radio, on-line news
mediums and calendar of events listings.
