MILWAUKEE - (MPA-PPR) - The UNCF - United Negro College Fund had its 29th Annual Education Walk-Run on Saturday, July 20, 2013 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Veterans Park.

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC announced today that it will seek to fill a void in health care, quality of Life and Economic Development with its plans to link the UNCF colleges with hidden talent and vetted businesses using "deaneries" as the concept for engagement.

"It is part of our commitment to innovation, research, education and technology attainment to link/connect the dots for scalable and meaningful engagement at the census tract and neighborhood level.  Using the concept 'deanery', establishing census tract and neighborhood heads, is another avenue within Co-location programming of the All Hands on Deck,WE CAN Initiative - MPA LLC Signature Initiative for empowerment of the people especially African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged," said Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC.

UNCF

The United Negro College Fund, or UNCF, is an American philanthropic organization that funds scholarships for black students and general scholarship funds for 39 private historically black colleges and universities. The UNCF was incorporated on April 25, 1944 by Frederick D. Patterson(then president of what is now Tuskegee University), Mary McLeod Bethune, and others. The UNCF is headquartered at 1805 7th Street, NW in Washington, DC ^[1] In 2005, the UNCF supported approximately 65,000 students at over 900 colleges and universities with approximately $113 million in grants and scholarships. About 60% of these students are the first in their families to attend college, and 62% have annual family incomes of less than $25,000. UNCF also administers over 450 named scholarships. This is in contrast with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund that raises money for the public historically black colleges and universities.  Wikipedia

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC is a supporter of the UNCF.  Mary Glass Chair/CEO is an alumni of Lane College, Jackson, TN - UNCF College.  It is through the liberal arts, medical and business fields that the Affordable Health Care Act will be pushed. 

LANE COLLEGE
Lane College, located in Jackson, Tennessee on approximately 55 acres, is a small, private, co-educational, church-related institution that provides a liberal arts curriculum leading to baccalaureate degrees in the Arts and Sciences. The College admits persons regardless of color, sex, religion or national origin. 

The future of Lane is intimately tied to its historic past. The College was founded by individuals who were committed to assuring that newly freed slaves would be able to "read, write, and speak correctly." The vocational goals of the first students to enroll at the College were in the areas of teaching and preaching. It was the view of the founders that neither group would be able to influence the more learned individuals in society unless they had academic, spiritual, cultural, and economic qualifications that were equal to their counterparts. 

It will also galvanize students, alumni presence and revenue streams for UNCF sites such as Lane College.

To advance the MPA LLC Affordable Health Care PREPAREDNESS Campaign, the UNCF bank of Colleges is part of the NEW Deanery focus of Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC for re-defining, re-branding and un-trapping URBAN hidden talent and vetted businesses.
