Deana Wright will be one of the emcees for the 2022 Dream Ball.

This annual event hosted by Women in Focus is a fundraiser for the all-volunteer organization's scholarship fund, which has been helping Dane County students of color attend college since 1986. The virtual program for 2022 features speakers including former scholarship recipients Terrence Carey, Danielle Crim and Naman Siad, Madison schools Superintendent Carlton Jenkins, and emcees Portia Adney and Deana Wright, plus music by DJ Drew Masters. The livestream is free to watch, but donations are encouraged; funds are also raised via a silent auction. Find the program and online auction at wif.cbo.io.

(WIF) has been proud to encourage and support students of color to succeed in education through our college scholarship program.  WIF deeply believes in the abilities and talents of students of color in Dane County and that college education is key to their future and to building stronger communities locally, nationwide and worldwide.
