Pop by whenever you can, but 6:30p is toast time!

We'll be celebrating, catching up, and indulging on allllllll the sweet treats.

Few friendly notes:

1. Today is also Wisconsin Roots Rising Day of Giving! So, so many great orgs participating (including yours truly!). Might be the perfect opportunity to send a little extra birthday love our way 😉😘. 🔗 in bio + comments.

2. We kinda forgot how early our WI sun disappears in October. So, maybe come on the early side?! Plus, our fellow Wisconsinites are telling us there may (or may not!) be a 7p conflict. 💙💛⚾️

Either way, you know where you'll find us.

University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy Student National Pharmaceutical Association and our WI PATCHies recently got to have a candid conversation about health and pharmacy!

And, future pharmacy providers got to hear directly from today’s teens.

That's PATCH: Providers And Teens Communicating for Health 😏

By the looks of it, you have a solid chance of getting yourself a birthday gift too via the silent auction currently happening! Go take a peek, why don't ya?!
