That's a wrap...
Our annual Sunset Soiree fundraising celebration is over for this year and what an evening it was!
We exceeded our goal and raised over $68,000 for current and future projects & programs at Old World Wisconsin.

We want to thank everyone who donated and attended the event. We are grateful to all the businesses who donated items & experiences for our raffles and silent auction. Our sponsors and volunteers are the best and we couldn't host this gathering without them. The food was delicious, the music was outstanding, the activities engaging, and the weather was perfect!

Special thanks to the Old World Foundation team:
Trustees: Ron Buchholz, Larry Martin, Paul Marshall, Rosanne McGuire, Beth Heaney, and Colleen Scholl. Staff: Gwen Griffin and Kira Meehan
And, of course, the team at Old World Wisconsin!

SAVE the Date for our 9th Annual Sunset Soiree scheduled for August 21, 2027.
