Dec 20 | Dancing With The Scholars X
DWTS is patterned behind the ABC television series, Dancing with the Stars. The fundraiser is an opportunity for students from Wards 7 & 8 to display their dancing skills with elected officials. It is also an opportunity for the WOLCF to raise money to support its scholarships and international programs.
Last year’s “DWTS X” fundraiser allowed the WOLCF to offer $25,700 in scholarships. To date, the WOLCF has awarded over $150,000.00 in scholarships. The upcoming DWTS X will allow the WOLCF to continue its momentum in closing the educational gap for students from Wards 7 and 8. This year, funds raised will not only support the “Spread Your Wings” Scholarship program, but also the International Ambassadors Program (IAP) which provides middle school students – Lockridge Ambassadors – an opportunity to travel to Africa.
