United Negro College Fund: Columbus Mayor’s Luncheon changes students’ lives

For kids across the country and right here in Central Ohio, the United Negro College Fund is helping open doors to higher education. https://uncf.org/ ABC 6 is once again supporting the organization’s mission through the annual UNCF Mayor’s Luncheon in Columbus; a major local fundraiser aimed at helping students pursue their college dreams. For more than 80 years, the UNCF has helped thousands of students attend college by raising millions of dollars in scholarships each year. Those funds support students nationwide, including many in the Columbus and Central Ohio area. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther told ABC 6 that expanding opportunities for young people is a key priority during his time in office. “It’s really, really important to me, because these are Columbus kids,” Ginther said. “These are Columbus kids who are being able to access their dreams, follow their dreams, make a difference in their lives and also the lives of their families.” More: https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/uncf-mayors-luncheon-helps-change-students-lives-school-education-college-united-negro-college-fund _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: WSYX on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WSYXABC6 WSYX on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wsyx6 WSYX on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wsyx6/ Subscribe to WSYX on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6HHWRGuLD11spg9DxKAZlQ//?sub_confirmation=1 Daily News Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVJHjLYVOrAgtGirvHOL3kyw3nSkjE33o For more information, visit https://abc6onyourside.com/ Have a news tip?
