The WWHF’s Spring Gala event is truly one-of-a-kind, and 2018’s celebration on Saturday, May 19th was no exception. Whether it was the auctions, entertainment, Capitol transformation, or food that drew in our over 800 attendees, ALL of them were sure to walk away with a memory and good time or two to cherish. And as an extra bonus (which really is the whole point of the fundraiser), we were able to raise $173,000 dollars to help operate our 5 statewide programs for women’s health outreach across the state of Wisconsin!
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our mission to innovate, impact, and improve women’s health. Your generosity makes our work possible! And a huge thank you to the many, many people who made the Spring Gala run smoothly – sponsors, vendors, staff and volunteers. All your hard work, overtime hours, late nights, and heavy lifting were worth it!
We hope to see everyone back again at next year’s Spring Gala! Watch WWHF communications for the Save the Date!

Attendees bid on fantastic items, enjoyed complimentary beverages, appetizers, and entertainment from live musicians and a roaming magician (but really, how does he do it?). Thanks to generous auction donors and bidders, we raised $29,194 in funds for Wisconsin women and their families from the auction.
Celebration, Wisconsin State Capitol, 8 PM – midnight
Over 800 attendees put on their best attire and dined, danced, and enjoyed complimentary drinks (including a royal-wedding inspired signature drink, the Kensington Cooler) in the rotunda of a transformed State Capitol building. Oh, what a night!
