Our 16th Annual Trunk Scholarship Celebration was nothing short of amazing. We gave away over 150 laptops and trunks filled with school and dorm room supplies to excited college-bound students, celebrated their accomplishments, and honored our alum Charles Williams, Global Vice President Men’s Footwear at Nike.

Major thanks to Charles for joining us with his family and sharing such an inspirational message filled with valuable advice for our students as they head off to colleges and universities throughout the country. And a huge thank you to Award-Winning Broadcast Journalist Darryl Dennard for serving as Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

We truly appreciate all who joined us, and our sponsors for their generosity. Our college-bound students, many of whom are first-generation, received an incredible village of support and will be ready to start their college journey from day one!

Take a peek into the program booklet for the evening which provides the list of students who received trunks, the colleges they will be attending, a complete list of trunk items, and more.
