This is not a direct tie-in to Panther athletics, but I wanted to bring an upcoming UWM event with a sports angle to your attention.
The event – “Celebrating 30 Years of Successful Kids With MVP George Karl” – is Tuesday, June 28 from 5:30-9:30 p.m. It will be held at UWM’s School of Continuing Education, which is on the seventh floor of the Grand Avenue Mall.
The evening benefits UWM’s College for Kids, which is put on each summer by the School of Continuing Education. Former Bucks and current Denver Nuggets coach George Karl has been one of the biggest supporters of this program for the last seven years and will be in attendance at this special event.
The event includes a silent auction (both live and online), a heads or tails raffle, a four-course meal and opportunities to mingle, with proceeds benefiting the SMILE (Sponsorship Money Investing in Lifelong Education) Scholarship program and College for Kids and College for Teens programming.
