Today on Community Chatter, we were joined by Kenneth Speller, Board Member of 100 Black Men of Chicago, and Lisa Rollins, Regional Development Director at UNCF.
Kenneth shared details about the 23rd Annual College Scholarship Fair, happening Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. at the Isadore and Sadie Dorin Forum (725 W. Roosevelt Rd.). The event will bring together more than 200 colleges and universities to meet with Chicago-area students, offering on-the-spot admissions, financial aid information, and guidance on the path to higher education. To register online, visit: www.100BMC.org
Lisa also provided an update on the UNCF Walk for Education, which was canceled due to extreme weather. While the walk will not take place, you can still support UNCF’s mission by registering online—your registration now counts as a donation to fund scholarships and student programs.
