Wauwatosa, WI (July 21, 2017) Back by popular demand, Echelon MKE presents the Dinner in the Alley, giving guests an opportunity to experience one of the most unique events ever to hit the streets… or alleyways in Milwaukee. Guests will enjoy an outdoor dinner and live music underneath the twinkle lights in one of Milwaukee’s most picturesque alleyways, Black Cat Alley, located at 2122 North Prospect Ave. Kick back, relax and have fun with 115 of your closest friends as we create an evening you won’t forget.
The alley will be lit up in red, so please dress your part and wear a piece of red clothing to help support The Salvation Army. We will have Katie Geis Fine Art donating a live painting to be painted and auctioned off at the event as well as music by local artist Isaiah Joshua throughout the evening.
Echelon Milwaukee has a vision to end homelessness; therefore, 100% of the proceeds will support the Emergency Lodge, The Salvation Army’s homeless shelter and programs, thanks to a generous contribution from Thrivent Financial. Last year’s Dinner in the Alley raised over $7,000, which provided meals and shelter for one month for three families in The Salvation Army Emergency Lodge.

7:00 pm – Dinner by Davians
10:00 pm- midnight – After Party, Open to the Public – At Good City Brewing, 2108 N. Farwell. A $1 donation from each pour for every person wearing red clothing!
