Milwaukee Urban League hosts 2017 Black and White Ball
The 32nd Annual Black and White Ball, held on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee, proved to be another successful fundraiser for the Milwaukee Urban League. This year, the event raised more than $300,000 and included a special appeal to provide laptop computers for high achieving high school students. Money raised during this signature annual fundraiser goes to support the League's vital programs in the areas of youth and education; youth workforce development; and economic development. Several corporations presented special gifts at the ball, including Cardinal Stritch University, which presented their first-ever donation to the League with a check for $25,000. Pictured (from left) during the check presentation are MUL President and CEO Dr. Eve Hall; Cardinal Stritch University Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jeff Senese; Cardinal Stritch University College of Education and Leadership Dean Dr. Freda Russell; and MUL Board Chair and Manpower Group Senior Managing Attorney - Business Law Noah A. Fenceroy. One of the highlights of the evening was the musical entertainment, which was provided by national recording artists The Spinners.
