In addition, to honor those who serve our country, we are pleased that all outright donations and Patient Care Grant matching gifts will specifically benefit grants for Veterans to receive free care at Rogers Behavioral Health in their pursuit of recovery from the impact of trauma.

YOU can make a difference:
At our last in person event in 2019, proceeds totaled more than $250,000! This equates to more than 350 days of FREE TREATMENT for patients in need.
Being at war with yourself: Enlisting in the healing process
In special recognition of Veterans Day, the evening’s featured presentation will focus on Trauma Recovery and has been aptly titled, “Being at war with yourself: Enlisting in the healing process.”
Trauma affects children, teens, and adults, including Military Veterans and first responders, who have experienced a distressing situation in a myriad of ways, from loss of sleep to the inability to leave one’s house. Horrific nightmares of the event, flashbacks, and other physical reactions increase feelings of depression and thoughts of suicide and may contribute to the use of alcohol and other substances to cope.
Thankfully, treatment works. At Rogers Behavioral Health, our comprehensive recovery programs use evidenced-based trauma-focused psychotherapies, which are shown to be the most effective treatments for reducing symptoms
Those who have experienced trauma can learn to feel safe in the world and cope with stress to live fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Be uniquely YOU by defining your own Red Carpet attire. Think black tie to dressed up jeans – and anything in between! Are you currently in the Military or a Military Veteran? Show us your service by wearing your branch uniform.
Bartolotta Catering will prepare a duet entrée of braised short rib and airline chicken breast with potato puree, broccolini and red wine demi. An optional gluten free (GF)/vegetarian (VG) entrée is available upon request.
Contact Linda Schieble with dietary restrictions or if you prefer the GF/VG entrée.
Complimentary valet parking is available at Discovery World, located off of Lincoln Memorial Drive on Milwaukee’s Lakefront between the Milwaukee Art Museum and Summerfest Grounds.
