Thank You for Joining Us at Sips for Scholars in June 2026!

Forward Scholars welcomed more than 200 supporters to the inaugural Sips for Scholars, raising more than $33,000 to ensure that more students receive the individualized support they need to become confident readers.

The evening brought together community leaders, donors, volunteers, and friends who share a belief that every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident reader. We were also honored to welcome Mayor Cavalier Johnson, who spoke about the importance of investing in literacy and the future of Milwaukee’s students.

This event laid the foundation for what we hope will become an annual tradition supporting Forward Scholars’ mission.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, and helped make the evening possible. We can't wait to see you at next year's Sips for Scholars!
