Wisconsin Bankers Foundation Gala

The inaugural Wisconsin Bankers Foundation gala will support the Foundation's efforts to promote financial literacy and capability through scholarships, education, and research. The event will include a catered dinner, an open bar, silent and live auctions, an informational program, and entertainment. Cocktail or semi-formal attire is suggested. Tickets are $150 each or $1,000 for a table of eight.

Well-known programs of the Foundation include the cherished "Reading Raises Interest Kits" provided in conjunction with National Teach Children to Save Day, the four WBF Spring Scholarships, the two WBF Agricultural Banking Scholarships, the research report site banconomics.com, and grants to other non-profit organizations whose missions align with ours.
