Ross Walton is a WUL Hometown Hero, and he was nominated by Madeline Kanas, “For always giving hours of his time, energy, and resources to help out fellow community members and businesses.”

Madeline said, “As a Whitewater native, Ross has always given back to his community. He has worked alongside the City of Whitewater and UW-Whitewater to enhance what our community has to offer. Those who know him personally, know he will drop everything to help others. He has been the first on scene to a few of the fires at John’s Disposal. Ross is very humble and likes to stay out of the spotlight, but I feel it’s time to publicly acknowledge all he does for our community.”

WUL (Whitewater Unites Lives) is a locally-focused civil and human rights group that works to connect the people in our community and to create opportunities for all people to learn and support each other in our common humanity.
