As we continue to honor the life and legacy of our CEO & President, Michael Johnson, we remain committed to carrying forward the joy, opportunity, and sense of community he created for our youth.

Ten years ago, Michael started The All-White Party with a vision of bringing people together to create brighter futures for young people across our community. Over the years, it became more than an event, it became a reflection of his belief in what is possible when a community shows up for our youth.

With that in mind, The All-White Party will continue as planned.

As we celebrate 10 years of this event, we do so in honor of Michael and with a commitment to carrying his vision forward together.

Tonight, we gather.

The sudden loss of our President & CEO, Michael Johnson, has reminded us how deeply this community loved him. Tonight, we invite you to come together with us to grieve, to remember, and to celebrate the extraordinary legacy of a man who gave everything for the kids and families of Dane County.

To our community,

The love you've shown for Michael Johnson has been overwhelming in the most beautiful way. As his family grieves, we kindly ask that you give them privacy and space during this time.

If you'd like to share a memory or condolence, please leave it here and we'll make sure the family can read these messages when they're ready. The greatest gift we can give them now is patience, grace, and room to grieve.

Thank you for honoring Michael by caring for those he loved.
