Fostering Community’s Annual Gala

Thursday, November 7th - 5:30pm-8:30pm at The Gage - Dinner by Flavors of Grace

Thank you for your interest in being a part of our Gala to support and empower kids and families involved in foster care and adoption. It’s in our name, but we believe this work can only be done as a community and we appreciate you wanting to be a part of our community and the community surrounding the children and families we serve! 

We would love to invite you to our Annual Fostering Community Gala to celebrate all that’s been done this year! This will be a night of celebration as well as sharing stories from families we have served, and getting to look ahead together as we cast vision and raise funds to continue the work as we serve children and families involved in foster care here in SE Wisconsin!

I am so excited for us to be hosting our annual Gala! This year is extra special as we sold out of last year's space and are moving into a bigger space. Along with that, we started 2023 with 120 families on our email list, and today we have over 350 families on our email list that we serve from all over SE Wisconsin! There has been so much growth and cause for celebration in this last year and we can’t wait to share this special night with all of you!

We also have opportunities for sponsorship, ways to help with our silent auction baskets, and options to give towards sending kids in care to events, read below for more info! We hope you can join us!

Ways to give and get involved!

Thank you for your interest in being a part of our Gala to support and empower kids and families involved in foster care and adoption. It’s in our name, but we believe this work can only be done as a community and we appreciate you wanting to be a part of our community and the community surrounding the children and families we serve! I am so excited for us to be hosting this Gala to get to share with all of you the exciting things we have been able to do so far this year for families! There are over 7,000 kids in foster care in Wisconsin and more than 2,000 of them reside in Milwaukee county! It’s an honor to get to support these families through the work we do at Fostering Community! We would love to invite you to be a part of this year's event! 

Auction Items: We’re looking for auction items for our silent auction. These items can include getaways, event tickets, dinners, experiences, etc. If you work for a local company or want to support a local business and would like to put a basket together we ask that the basket value be at least $100. 
Matching Donations: This is another great way to give back while encouraging others to give back as well. Matching donations help us reach more families and make financial donations have greater impact and go further!

Sponsorship: Please see the different sponsorship levels below which list the benefits of each level. This is a great way to be a part of the work we are doing while also getting the word out about your company/organization. If you can’t attend the event this is still a great way to support Fostering Community.

Thank you in advance for any ways that you will partner with us and be a part of our community! We count on the generosity and support of individuals and businesses like yours to continue the needed work we are doing! We know you might never get a chance to meet the families you are helping to support or know the names of the kids in foster care who you are helping to empower, but please know your impact is greater and has ripple effects! We look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting many of you at our Gala this November!
