MILWAUKEE — Six-time Olympic medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee is visiting Milwaukee this weekend to celebrate the 25th annual Fellowship Open, making special stops to inspire local students and community members.

Joyner-Kersee, known as one of the greatest athletes of all time, was honored by the Fellowship Open in 2019. On Friday, she toured Holy Redeemer Campus' BD SLAM Charter School, the Boys and Girls Club and Wellness Center.

"You have Fellows who are going to benefit from the Fellowship Open and it's just a whole connection — it's a family atmosphere," Joyner-Kersee said.

"It's just all wrap around services that really try to invest in a community probably that is sometimes underserved," Joyner-Kersee said.
