We are so proud to share that this year’s Conductor Wannabe competition has made an incredible impact in our community — raising a record-breaking $171,000 collectively for local causes.

A special congratulations to Angela Newman and Dave Wagner, who will lead the La Crosse Symphony Orchestra after bringing in the most donations in the history of the contest — an outstanding $70,000. Their efforts also give a powerful boost ahead of the upcoming ALS Walk in October, inspiring even more support and momentum for their team.

We also want to celebrate Nancy Allen, this year’s second-place winner, who raised more than $32,000 and used her platform to bring awareness to Karuna Housing.

Nancy shared her belief in Karuna’s mission and her hope that this exposure will help more people in the community learn about and support this growing organization. Her goal was simple but powerful — to help more people discover Karuna and the support it provides.

From all of us at Karuna Housing, we are deeply grateful for Nancy’s advocacy and heart for community. 💙

Congratulations to all the Conductor Wannabes for using music, leadership, and generosity to make a lasting difference in La Crosse.

🎶 The winners will take the stage this weekend with the La Crosse Symphony Orchestra at 7:30 p.m.

From the bottom of our hearts—THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors, guests, donors, bidders, and all-around cheerleaders who made this year’s gala unforgettable.

Because of you, our second-year gala netted an impressive $83,399.33 🎉

That’s impact. That’s generosity. That’s a room full of people showing up with big hearts and open hands.

We laughed, we celebrated, we gave, and together we turned one magical night into a real, lasting difference. We are beyond grateful for every sponsorship, ticket, bid, donation, and dance move.

Thank you for believing in the mission and making year two one for the books.
On to year three… and we’re just getting started! 💫

LIVE AUCTION ITEM: Safari of a Lifetime!

Get ready to unleash your inner explorer—our African Safari with Herbst Safaris is the kind of trip that turns “I should travel more” into “I just took 800 photos of a giraffe.” 📸

From sunrise game drives to jaw-dropping wildlife sightings, this is the bucket-list adventure you’ll brag about forever. 🐘

Pack your sense of wonder (and maybe some khaki). Africa is calling!
