Celebrate the Light Gala
Description
This year, Celebrate the Light will be held at Milwaukee’s historic and newly renovated Pfister Hotel and will include a seated dinner and program. Laurie Hernandez will share her powerful story of courage, confidence, and embracing life’s challenges during a fireside chat with Molly Fay, host of The Morning Blend on TMJ4. Event Details 5:15 pm | Reception 5:30 pm | Cocktail reception and Mission Moments 7 pm | Seated Dinner and Program 9 pm | Conclusion Attire: Evening cocktail (Semi-formal attire encouraged) Last year, Celebrate the Light brought our community together to raise awareness around men’s mental health. This year, the evening will raise critical funds for Rogers Behavioral Health Foundation’s Patient Care Grants, helping children, teens and adults overcome financial barriers to specialized treatment and related practical needs can stand between them and the care they need. Patient Care Grants help bridge that gap, making life-changing – and sometimes life-saving care possible. As Laurie’s story reminds us, young people can carry enormous pressure while still finding the strength to move forward. Together, we can help ensure more patients have the support and access to care they need to heal. Laurie Hernandez’s appearance is made possible through the generous support of The Charles E. Kubly Foundation.
