COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– The University of South Carolina has announced the third annual “A Celebration of Dawn Staley” featuring co-anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America, Robin Roberts.
Roberts will sit down with Staley for a fireside chat to discuss Staley’s life and career as part of the fundraising event set for August 13.
Doors for the evening event will open at 6 p.m. at the Pastides Alumni Center (900 Senate St.) in Columbia.
The event will highlight the Dawn Staley Champions Fund and the three-time National Champion South Carolina women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley.
The Champions Fund helps support scholarships for first-generation, economically disadvantaged, underrepresented students and student-athletes at USC by providing financial aid for tuition and educational expenses, creating equal opportunities for success, principles Staley has championed, said the university.
“This is more than a fundraiser, we are investing in a brighter future, empowering these young men and women with the opportunity to create a better world for themselves and their communities,” Staley said.
