🎓 Why it matters: Proceeds from Akron Press Club events support scholarships for journalism and public relations students. Last year, the Press Club—along with the John S. Knight Memorial Journalism Fund and the Sojourner Truth Project—awarded multiple $5,000 scholarships to college and Akron Public Schools students.
We look forward to seeing you there!
