Annual Events
Every year we host honorary and fundraising events to recognize our incredible students, mentors, and partners, and raise money to support students in our Workforce Prep Mentoring Program. Our events are very popular and regularly sell out. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact Daniela Matthews at 586-276-5236 or Daniela@WinningFutures.org for more information.
