the Building Character Program served more than 1,000 youth which we aim to triple in 2020. Following last year’s “Honoring Milwaukee’s Greats” event, we are kicking off the new year by hosting Boxing Night – A Milwaukee Tradition on May 14th. Boxing Night is a fun evening where people of all backgrounds can come together and enjoy themselves. Instead of the typical fundraiser, City Champs will do the donating so you can enjoy the event! A thrilling card of more than 10 bouts, live music, auctions, raffles, games, celebrity autographs and more. This year’s objective is to support the amazing “grass roots” efforts working to unite our city. Join Milwaukee in the fight against violence, hate and bullying.

The structure for the conference will involve three portions: Inspire, Explore, Equip. These three segments will be offered both in the morning and again in the afternoon, with separate speakers for those times. Inspire: Each of our speakers will give TED-style talks on themed topics: community, leadership, power, equity, innovation, etc. Explore: Attendees will get to choose between smaller, breakout sessions where plenary speakers provide deeper dives into their plenary talk. Equip: Following each Explore talk, a facilitator will guide a 45-minute session to provide participants with tools to develop strategies to engage the topic in their own workplaces and communities.

Playworks Indiana’s Kickball Tournament is an active employee engagement event that brings teams of 10-15 coworkers together through tournament play of the beloved playground game—kickball.

The day will consist of tournament play, food, prizes, and adult beverages provided by Sun King Brewing. We will end the day with an awards ceremony. Playworks’ well-trained, enthusiastic professional staff will lead the excitement by bringing the skills and experience necessary to get everyone involved in a fun and inclusive event.

The SD Foundation hosts its bowling FUNdraiser, Strike Out Poverty, one Sunday each year. Don’t worry, it’s never on a Sunday with a Packers game. This year it is Sunday, April 19th beginning at 12:00pm at JB’s on 41 4040 S 27th St, Milwaukee, WI 53221. The foundation held its fourth annual Strike Out Poverty in 2018 and, it was a sold out event. A family-friendly event, bowling is a fantastic way to spend time with immediate and extended family. It’s also a wonderful way to catch up with friends you haven’t seen in a while and do something fun with coworkers. Lace up a snazzy pair of bowling shoes and engage in friendly competition at this FUNdraiser for the Social Development Foundation! Past attendees will share that this afternoon event is filled with laughter, good-natured banter, and that amazing feeling you get from helping someone less fortunate than you. So grab a ball, try to keep it out of the gutter, sign up, and provide hope to Milwaukee County residents living in poverty. If you cannot attend, we invite you to help us Strike Out Poverty by providing an item for the Silent Auction or by providing a donation to the SD Foundation.

Desmond\'s Pink Tuesday foundation\'s mission is to help alleviate this cost.
