Event Overview

On Wednesday, November 6, 2019, the Saginaw Promise hosted the Power of a Promise II. Magic Johnson was in attendance to help raise funds for the organization that has awarded over $800,000 to almost 500 students. The event featured a strolling dinner, a VIP reception, a silent auction and entertainment by the Robert Lee Revue Band.

The Saginaw Promise is at its core, a “last dollar”, “place based” scholarship program, designed to serve as a catalyst for economic development in Saginaw, an initiative to retain and attract new families and businesses to the community through a focus and support for postsecondary education for all of its graduating students (who live within the Promise Zone and graduate from a high school within the Promise Zone; geographic boundaries of the Saginaw Public School District).
