A Night of Thanks
FUL Donor Appreciation Event 2022
To celebrate our amazing community of supporters, last month we hosted our Donor Appreciation event. Over 120 donors, volunteers, staff, parents of FUL, and current and past students joined us as we explored the achievements of the past year that were made possible by those in the room. These achievements include:
Hosting our first online fundraising event, Power in FUL
Taking 12 FUL high school scholars on our HBCU Trip out East to visit five different HBCUs
Opening up our Devil’s Lake Camping Trip to our younger scholars (4th grade and up)
Welcoming our new executive director, Darnell Hamilton
Revamping our website
Partnering with the Greater Life Community Center as the new location for our high school programming
FUL graduate, Maximus Bryant, spoke about his experience with FUL and how his years with us prepared him for his first semester at MSOE. We recognized a number of donors in different categories for their support of our programs, hosted live music by Caché MKE, enjoyed delicious eats from Turning Tables, and signature drinks by the No Studios Mixology Team. The event brought in close to $11,000 to support our scholars and programs goals for 2023!
It was a wonderful night that we were honored to host. Thank you to all who joined us and to ALL of our supporters.
