Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County All White Party Returns June 27 With Celebrity Lineup and Purpose Bigger Than the Party

The biggest summer event in Madison is back, and this year the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County is taking things to another level.

During an interview on 93.1 JAMZ with DJ Fusion, Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County CEO Michael Johnson announced the return of the annual All White Party happening June 27 at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Madison. While tables are officially sold out, individual tickets are still available for just $75.

And this year’s celebrity lineup is massive.

“We’re expecting somewhere between 2,500 to 3,000 people,” Johnson said during the interview. “We got an all star lineup.”

Headliners currently announced include legendary comedian and former Tonight Show host Jay Leno, who will perform a 30 minute comedy set, along with actor and singer Tyrese Gibson, who is expected to perform music and participate in VIP experiences throughout the weekend.

The event will also feature appearances from Woody McClain, best known for portraying Bobby Brown, hip hop legends Crucial Conflict, Do or Die, rapper Benzino, and actor Jamal Woolard, known for portraying The Notorious B.I.G.

Johnson also teased additional celebrity announcements still to come, including a well known R&B group planned for the Sunday brunch experience.

But for Johnson, the event is about much more than celebrity appearances and photo opportunities.

“At the end of the day, we got to raise a half a million dollars for our young people,” Johnson explained.

Funds raised from the All White Party directly support several life changing programs operated by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County, including what Johnson says is one of the largest college preparatory programs in Wisconsin. The organization currently employs full time staff inside Madison schools helping students graduate and continue into college.

“Just on Thursday, 331 of my kids, we had a college signing day,” Johnson shared proudly. “We announced all the different colleges and universities that they’re going to.”

The organization also supports daily meal programs for youth, early childhood education, and the nationally recognized workforce development center that teaches students skilled trades including plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work.

Johnson highlighted success stories already coming from those investments, including students securing family sustaining careers and graduating debt free from college programs.

“This is about raising money for young people,” Johnson said. “But the other component is you don’t see a lot of Black talent that come to Madison. So I want to show this city that you can bring in Black entertainers, and you can do amazing things, and you can raise money.”

The All White Party has grown into one of Madison’s most talked about annual events, drawing attendees from across Wisconsin and neighboring states. Johnson says approximately 20 percent of ticket buyers this year are traveling from out of state, helping transform the event into a growing regional attraction.

DJ Fusion praised Johnson’s commitment to both culture and community during the interview.

“The Boys and Girls Club has always been an important organization nationwide, but especially here in Madison and Dane County,” Fusion said. “Under your leadership they’ve been able to do amazing things.”

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County All White Party takes place June 27 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Orpheum Theater on State Street in Madison. Tables are sold out, but individual tickets remain available for $75.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County Brings Jay Leno, Tyrese and Star Power to Madison for Annual All White Party

From May 25 through June 1, the community is coming together for Kennedy Cares Week, an annual initiative focused on supporting students, families, and neighbors connected to Kennedy Elementary School. Now in its 17th year, the event continues to grow into one of Madison’s most meaningful examples of community driven support for local youth.

This year’s focus centers around a powerful new initiative: the Kennedy Community Van Project, designed to help students and families overcome transportation barriers that can make getting to school and accessing resources difficult.

According to Bridget from Kennedy Elementary, the mission behind Kennedy Cares Week has always been rooted in community care and support.

“It’s a week that’s all designed and dedicated to giving back to our community and making sure that kids know that we take care of our own.”

The initiative is being organized through the Kennedy Family Support Network, a nonprofit organization created to ensure that no student falls behind because of circumstances outside their control.

Why Transportation Matters for Madison Families

Transportation challenges affect more families than many people realize. For some, it may mean unreliable transportation to school. For others, it may involve balancing work schedules, limited access to vehicles, or difficulties reaching after school programs and community resources.

Bridget explained that transportation repeatedly surfaced as one of the biggest needs among Kennedy families.

“One of the things that families point to is that transportation can be really challenging, both getting kids to and from school, but also to community events and to different area organizations.”

The new Kennedy Community Van Project aims to directly address that issue by providing reliable rides for students and families who need support. The van is expected to officially launch in September 2026.

The project is about much more than transportation. It represents a long term investment in student success, attendance, family stability, and community connection.

According to the organization’s mission, every Cougar deserves a seat in class, and the van program was built to make that possible.

Kennedy Elementary Students Share What Makes Their School Special

During an interview on 93.1 JAMZ with DJ Fusion, several Kennedy Elementary students spoke about what makes their school feel supportive and welcoming.

Students highlighted the friendships, caring teachers, inclusive environment, and opportunities available at the school.

One student shared:

“They take care of children with special needs, children with disabilities really well.”

Another student described Kennedy as:

“A friendly area. You can make lots of friends. The teachers are really nice to you.”

Others mentioned activities like soccer fields, Gaga ball, ropes courses, and the many opportunities students receive throughout the year.

The interview painted a picture of a school community built on compassion, inclusivity, and genuine support for students.

Kennedy Cares Week Reflects Madison’s Community Spirit

For Bridget and the Kennedy team, Kennedy Cares Week is about more than fundraising. It is about showing students that their community believes in them.

“This tends to be my favorite time of the year where we really get to see our kids come alive and support others, show the heart that they have.”

That community support has already been visible through partnerships with local organizations, churches, volunteers, and families who continue stepping up year after year.

Now, the goal is to rally even more support behind the Kennedy Community Van Project so students can access school consistently and families can stay connected to important resources across Madison.

Kennedy Cares Week 2026 Brings Madison Together to Support Kennedy Elementary Students and Families

Hip hop fans in Madison are in for a major night as Termanology hits the stage at Majestic Theatre on Thursday, April 23, alongside Jay Electronica as part of the 19 Day Reconnaissance Tour.

After nearly a decade away from Wisconsin, Termanology is making his long-awaited return, and he made it clear, this one is overdue. “I haven’t been back to Wisconsin in about 10 years,” he shared during a recent interview. “It’s long overdue. I’m excited to be here.”

Legacy Built on Longevity and Independence

Termanology’s career spans more than 20 years, with a catalog that speaks for itself. Since his breakout single “Watch How I Go Down” with DJ Premier in 2006, he has toured over 40 countries, released more than 60 projects, and collaborated with some of the biggest names in hip hop.

“Being independent and still relevant for 20-plus years—that’s what separates me,” he explained.

His consistency and global reach have made him a respected name in hip hop circles, and his deep catalog means fans can expect a performance packed with energy and history.

What to Expect at the Majestic Theater Show

Fans pulling up to the Majestic can expect a full set from Termanology, including around 20 tracks, plus appearances from special guests and his touring crew.

“I’m going to come up there and body it,” he said. “It’s going to be a good night.”

This stop on the tour is especially unique, as it marks one of the first times Termanology and Jay Electronica will share the stage together, bringing two distinct styles and fanbases into one room for a rare live experience.

New Music on the Way

Terminology also hinted at what’s next, revealing an upcoming album with Paul Wall dropping August 14. The project marks their third collaboration, adding to an already extensive list of joint records.

With over 40 songs each alongside Paul Wall and Bun B, Termanology continues to build strong connections across regions and generations of hip hop.

More Than the Highlight Reel

While fans often see the glamorous side of the industry, Termanology kept it real about the grind behind the scenes.

“People see the highlight reel,” he said. “But when the cameras are off, you’re still a dad, you still have responsibilities. If people understood how hard it is, they’d respect artists even more.”

That authenticity is part of what has kept him relevant for over two decades, and what continues to connect with fans worldwide.
