From Court to Classroom to Community
Wade vs. Diener creates a powerful RIPPLE EFFECT. Our reading program and Wade Scholars ignite a passion for learning, setting kids on a path towards college and beyond. The new practice facility will be more than just a gym, it will be a hub where young readers can CONNECT with Marquette athletes, find mentors, and DREAM BIG.
Full Circle of Opportunity
Our ultimate VISION? To see a child from our reading program blossom into a Wade Scholar, EXCEL at Marquette, and maybe even play in that very practice facility. Wade vs. Diener is about PLANTING SEEDS of OPPORTUNITY and watching them grow into something amazing. Join us and be part of this incredible journey!
No act of generosity is too small to make a difference.
Wade Vs. Diener aims to bring awareness and raise funds for three main focus areas:
Wade Scholars l Marquette basketball facilities l Tragil Wade-Johnson Summer Reading Program at Marquette.
The Tragil-Wade Johnson Summer Reading Program is dedicated to nurturing a lifelong love of reading in our youth. By investing in these students' literacy development, we aspire to make a significant, positive impact on their lives. Our ultimate hope is to see one of these young readers flourish and eventually join our prestigious Urban Scholars Program, completing their journey with us.
