It’s an undeniable passion of mine to give back and help make a difference.
Since the first Walk For Dom event on June 4, 2016, WFD has organized several events a year to remember Dominique, promote healthy outlets for stress, and raise money for a performing arts scholarship.
It is the hope of Dom's family and friends that through the educational support provided by this scholarship fund, students will be assisted in their careers and better relationships will be fostered between parents, school administrators, community leaders, and students.
Below are some of the recipients who have appreciatively received the Walk For Dom scholarship. I think it blesses us more to be able to continue to do this in honor of Dominique Williams and allowing his dream and passion to live on through others.

I’m currently a sophomore at Savannah College of Art and Design! With the scholarship I was awarded my freshmen year, I was able to attend my school without any worries of financial burden. With this scholarship, I was able to do what I love. I’ve created connections in the art field I never thought I could. I’ve been able to get an internship here, be a part of the casting office and truly learn and be immersed in what I thought was only a dream. Dominique’s scholarship gave me something more than I could ever return, it allowed me to do what I truly love to do.

I will make sure I represent Dominique in a very awesome way!”
