Charity event to support Detroit public school graduates

The Auburn Hills campus of Western Michigan University Cooley Law School will hold its annual charity event, FUNDS – Financing the Undergraduate Needs of Detroit Scholars, on Saturday, May 20.

The event, which starts at 6 p.m., will raise money to help a graduate of a Detroit public school attend college through the Western Michigan University Cooley Law School Scholarship.

Designed to support individuals interested in law school, and who would otherwise not be able to afford college, the scholarship supports needs not often included in other scholarships or financial aid such as transportation, clothes, and food. It is administered by Detroit College Promise, a non-profit organization connected to the Detroit Public Schools Foundation. 

This year’s event will include live entertainment and a silent auction.  

Tickets are $30 per person or $200 per group of eight.The event takes place at the WMU-Cooley Auburn Hills campus, Room 145, 2630 Featherstone Road.
