In anticipation of Milwaukee Brewers opening day at the new American Family Field, and to honor the late baseball Hall of Famer Henry “Hank” Aaron (No. 44), Madison-based American Family Insurance is contributing two new $44,000 donations for scholarships for Milwaukee students to support programs started by Hank and Billye Aaron’s Chasing the Dream Foundation, according to a release from the company.
The first $44,000 contribution will be split between the endowed scholarship funds that the Hank Aaron Chasing the Dream Foundation has in place at UW–Milwaukee, Alverno College, and Milwaukee Area Technical College. The second $44,000 contribution will go to the Hank Aaron Chasing the Dream Fund at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. This fund provides $250 and $1,000 per student scholarships to low-income youth ages 9 to 12 to help develop their talents or skills.
