With your participation , you are breaking down barriers to care and allowing someone to lead a healthy and fulfilling life!
Mission Moment
Giving barriers to care the boot: A unifying call
Every day, countless individuals struggle to access mental health care they desperately need. For some, it’s the physical distance to the nearest clinic. For others, it’s the invisible walls of financial hardship or a lack of evidence-based care that stands between them and a lifeline. But what if we could change that? What if we could tear down these barriers and build a world where mental health care is accessible, affordable, and compassionate? “Giving barriers to care the boot” is not just a slogan; it’s a unifying call. It’s a promise to listen, to care, and to act. At a part of this year’s Gala, let us be inspired by the resilience and courage of those who have battled mental health issues. Let us honor their stories by working tirelessly to create a future where everyone has the opportunity to receive the care they need. Let us pave the way for a world where hope, healing, and happiness thrive!
NEW! Location
The Grain Exchange
225 E Michigan St, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The historic Grain Exchange, located inside the Mackie Building in downtown Milwaukee, features soaring ceilings and towering columns with a grand 175 foot bell tower in the center of the room. What better way to celebrate the light of recovery than in a grand space that exudes warmth and beauty at every turn.
NEW! Culinary Experience
Indulge in a delightful culinary experience with an array of small plate entrees and gourmet bites by Milwaukee’s award-winning Bartolotta Catering and Events.
Available at your leisure, enjoy one of this and three of that…or maybe four of these and two of those! Whatever tasty morsels you choose – don’t let the small plates fool you. They may be petite in size, but you won’t leave hungry!
NEW! Live Music and Dancing by Rock It, Man!
After the Mission Moment, we’ll be clearing the dance floor and cuing up the band. Bring your best moves, because tonight, we’re dancing for a cause!
Rock It, Man! is a dynamic and energetic rock band known for their electrifying performances and captivating music. Their high-energy shows and infectious stage presence have won the hearts of music lovers from all walks of life and across genres.
Dress Rock Chic
Being rock chic [sheek] is more than a style, it’s something that’s inside you! Think casual meets flashy. Simple meets sequins. Sneakers meets boots. Not feeling like a rockstar? It’s OK! Whatever you choose, wear it with attitude!
