St. Ann Center Chili & Jewelry Sale Returns March 22nd

Milwaukee, WI — Let St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care add some comfort and joy to your spring shopping with the return of our biannual Chili & Jewelry Sale and vendor market!

This popular event will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025, at St. Ann Center’s beautiful Stein Campus, 2801 E. Morgan Ave., Milwaukee. The beloved fundraiser features chili donated by well-known Milwaukee restaurants, eye-catching and affordable vintage and handmade jewelry, stunning vintage perfume bottles, a vendor market, live music and more.

All proceeds from the chili, jewelry and perfume bottle sales support the care of children and adults of all ages and abilities who spend their day learning, growing and enjoying their time together at St. Ann Center’s two campuses, Stein Campus at the edge of St. Francis and Bay View, and Bucyrus Campus on Milwaukee’s near north side.

Jewelry lovers, come ready to buy! Browse hundreds of pieces of vintage, retro and heirloom jewelry — notice-me cocktail rings, sophisticated statement necklaces, brilliant bracelets, sparkling brooches, elegant watches, clip-on and pierced earrings and more — all priced to sell. St. Ann Center volunteers collect, clean, evaluate, and repair donated jewelry throughout the year to sell at bargain prices and there are treasures for every taste!

Also featured will be a collection of designer jewelry handcrafted by Sr. Edna Lonergan, St. Ann Center founder, as a way to supplement funding for the children, and seniors and adults with disabilities served by St. Ann Center. We will be featuring a selection of stunning vintage perfume bottles from around the world as well that are guaranteed to add style and elegance to your dresser, vanity or display shelf. Plus a specially curated section of spring ’80s and ’90s jewelry that is now back in vogue!

When your shopping is done, enjoy a palate-pleasing array of chili — sold by the bowl or in flights — featuring a wide variety of styles and heat levels, plus all the fixings to customize your choices. Contributors this year include Moran’s Pub, Outpost Bay View, MOTOR Bar, The Bowery Bar & Grille, and many more to be announced.

In addition to the jewelry sale, the center’s spacious atrium will be filled with more than two dozen vendors offering mouthwatering baked goods, handmade soaps and other body care, original artwork, crocheted items, and more. Club Veranda, accessible by stairs or elevator, offers tables and chairs to enjoy your chili while tapping your toes to tunes from Rohn Larson.

Mark your calendar now to enjoy this sparkling sale, scrumptious chili and lively music, all for a wonderful cause. For more information, contact Becca Felden at rfelden@stanncenter.org or (414) 977-5051.
