MILWAUKEE, WIS., MARCH 15, 2023 – Girls Rock MKE will host a 10-year anniversary gala on Wednesday, May 10, 2023.

The Girls Rock Gala will be held in the beautiful Enlightened Brewing Company tap room in the Bay View neighborhood and will celebrate the organization’s past, present, and future with a special comfort food dinner catered by local favorite, Honey Pie, and beverages from Enlightened Brewing Company and Crafty Cow. The gala will feature a silent auction with unique offerings from local businesses.

We can’t wait to look back on all that’s been achieved as we raise funds and look forward to the next generation of Girls Rock in Milwaukee!”
