SUMMARY:Open Hearts\, Open Homes Gala
DESCRIPTION:Chosen Inc. (“Chosen”)\, a non-profit ministry dedicated to supporting foster and adoptive parenting\, will again celebrate these unique family-building journeys Nov. 14 at its third annual gala – with a twist necessitated by the corona virus pandemic. \nThe “2020 Open Hearts\, Open Homes Gala” will be a virtual event starting at 7 p.m. As in previous years\, the evening will again be filled with stories of warmth\, encouragement and “Fostering Forever Families” by providing safe\, loving homes for children. \nA highlight will be the announcement of plans to open a Milwaukee County Family Closet in 2021\, modeled after The Family Closet in Waukesha. The center provides free clothing and children’s items to foster and adoptive families. \nDue to the event’s virtual nature\, tickets are free for 2020. Attendees can choose to donate when they register\, with 100 percent of all funds going to the Milwaukee County Family Closet. Attendees can earn free tickets to the 2021 gala by hosting watch parties of at least four guests. \nKeynote speakers are Amalie and Jason Bowling\, co-founders of Chosen\, who will share how their own family journey ties in with the origin of Chosen. Additional presentations will share Chosen’s 2020 accomplishments\, and how it plans to respond to an expected dramatic increase in foster care needs due to COVID-19. \nOnline bidding for silent auction items begins Nov. 9. Several high-profile auction items will be sold “live” at the Nov. 14 event. \nHundreds of guests and volunteers have attended Chosen’s prior two galas\, the first in November 2018. The event is the largest fund-raiser for Chosen’s hands-on programs\, support and outreach to foster and adoptive families\, and educational outreach in the community. \n“While we tremendously value thanking all our supporters in person at the annual gala\, circumstances dictated a change in format this year\,” said Karen Schlindwein\, Vice-President of Education and Development for Chosen. “Nevertheless\, we are excited to tell gala attendees how their support helps us meet the needs of foster and adoptive families.” \nRegistration for the Nov. 14 virtual gala\, and access to early online silent auction shopping\, are available at https://www.choseninlove.org/2020gala.

SUMMARY:5th Annual “A Crafty Christmas – Craft & Gift Sale” benefiting Milwaukee Pets Alive!
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Small Business Saturday\, November 28th\, 2020 anytime from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at our brand new host – the Milwaukee Ale House (233 N. Water St.\, Milwaukee) in the Third Ward – the epicenter of small businesses in Milwaukee – for the 5th Annual “A Crafty Christmas – Craft & Gift Sale” benefiting Milwaukee Pets Alive!!! \nStop in to shop for handmade\, one-of-a-kind holiday décor\, wreaths\, and gifts that you won’t find elsewhere! \nMilwaukee is a city of art and craft – and come the holidays\, our residents who appreciate this great part of our Milwaukee culture are looking to decorate their homes and give gifts that are special\, unique\, and not something everyone else will have (no big-box purchases for them)! \nWe thought we would bring these two worlds together to help everyone with all their holiday needs through a craft and gift sale while raising much-needed funds for the special needs and considerations animals Milwaukee Pets Alive rescues. \nEach item in our sale has a story – that starts with a love for animals. Each item was crafted by someone who wants to help the animals in our program and used their time and talents to do so. Any item you purchase will have a lot of love and meaning behind it!\n100% of the sale of each item will benefit Milwaukee Pets Alive to help our very special rescued animals! \nAdmission to A Crafty Christmas is FREE and open to the public. \nMilwaukee Pets Alive is an all-volunteer\, No Kill\, 501c3 non-profit organization that focuses on saving those local animals that have been passed over by\, or would not be accepted into\, other rescues and shelters and have no other option for life except for through our organization. These animals may be shy\, scared\, under-socialized\, injured\, aged\, differently-abled\, have medical needs\, or need extra resources – all deserve the chance to be loved and cherished. Their lives are important. \nWe are all about Milwaukee\, building community and relationships\, and all that is unique and one-of-a-kind (as represented by the special animals we rescue!). This craft and gift sale is the purrfect complement to the work we do\, and the animals we do it for! \nWe can’t wait to see you at “A Crafty Christmas – Craft and Gift Sale!” \nIf questions\, please email contact@milwaukeepetsalive.org \nwww.milwaukeepetsalive.org
