We are pleased to serve as the honorary Co-Chairs of the 50 Years Gala in celebration of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. The economic, social, and educational landscape of our communities has been transformed by the mission and work of the University. Through exceptional scholarship opportunities, strong community and business engagement, and decades of student success, we have witnessed great impact and advancement in the surrounding communities. UW-Parkside is recruiting and graduating diverse students ready to make a difference; more than 60 percent of all UW-Parkside alumni and current student base reside in Racine and Kenosha Counties.
This impact will be celebrated throughout 2018-19 and at the 50 Years Gala, the highest profile community event we will host in the anniversary year. Through sponsorship, your organization has a once-in-a-century opportunity to show your support for high quality, public four year education in Southeastern Wisconsin. Join our 350 event guests, 27,000 alumni, more than 400 faculty and staff, and countless supporters in our area and beyond in the support and commitment for continued growth of our region.
Moreover, your support of this unique event will ensure that more students have access to a UW-Parkside education. Your sponsorship will support a critical opportunity; the Future Focus Fund is our key scholarship initiative to sustain access and affordability at UW-Parkside.
Please join as we celebrate the bold beginnings and the future focus of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside!
