Since
1985, the Madison Metropolitan Links have been initiating service
projects in the African American community to promote the Arts,
health and wellness, and African American student achievement.
In the past, they have sponsored receptions and performances
of African American classical artists with the Madison Symphony
Orchestra, conducted an annual health walk around Monona Bay,
and have recognized the academic achievement of students at
its annual reception each May. Its major fund-raiser, the Ebony
Fashion Fair, attracts hundreds to the Alliant Energy Center
for an evening of fashion and fun. This is a lot of work for
so few hands.
