Fundraising Drive
Each year the Wake Forest MLK Committee plans the activities in our community to commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As part of this celebration, students in the Wake Forest and Rolesville Schools and Wake Forest community are provided an opportunity and encouraged to participate in contests for creative writing, art projects, and creative performance based on the current year’s theme.
Previous winners have come from all levels at Wake Forest, Heritage, Rolesville and Franklin Academy. The contests provide the opportunity for our students to showcase their talents. The contest winners in each category will receive a monetary prize for their entry. In addition, high school seniors have the opportunity to win a $1,000 scholarship (a minimum of three and maximum of five are offered).
The Wake Forest MLK Committee is appealing to the citizens of the Wake Forest community for financial support to fund these monetary prizes and scholarships in support for our future leaders. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by January 31, 2025.
