To date they have awarded 8,500 in scholarships. It is mainly the MWFA shows and membership donations, which provide the funds for this outstanding program. They take their motto: ‘Where education is a priority” very seriously. Special guest speaker Sarah Spain is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning radio host, TV personality and writer addressed the group. She is the host of the “Spain and Company” radio show, airing weeknights on national ESPN radio, a writer for espnW.com, host of ESPN’s “That’s What She Said” podcast and a regular on “Around The Horn,” “Highly Questionable,” “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz,” and “SportsCenter.” Spain received a bachelor’s degree in English from Cornell University, where she competed as a heptathlete and served as co-captain of the track & field team. Sarah spoke of her love of sports and dream to be a stand up comedian on SNL. She was involved in many sports throughout her school career. She spent time in LA exploring career options. She later moved back to Chicago, wwhere she grew up, to pursue a career in the sports world. She knew sports reporting would be hard to break into as a female but was persistent. It took a while for her to gain respect from her maile peers as it’s always assumed women don’t know enough to hold a sports reporting job. She had to pave her way and did and now enjoys a successful career doing what she loves. Humor is important in many fields and she enjoys humor with her job. Sarah’s closing advice to students was, as Bobcat Goldthait said “Create your own self, do things your way.” From that Sarah advises, whenever you do a job embrace who you are and move confidently and create space for yourself. MWFA is grateful to all scholarship donors especially those choosing to award a named scholarship. Congratulations Scholarship Winners ,500 XL Screw Corp. Scholarship (Donated by XL Screw Corp.)
