Waukesha Free Clinic (formerly known as St. Joseph’s Medical Clinic) announces its Annual Gala and Auction for October 24th – a virtual “Gala-in-a-Box” experience in the comfort of your own home!
Waukesha, WI, September 21, 2020
 
Are you ready to be a Super Hero? Waukesha Free Clinic is still holding its Annual Gala this year, with extensive safety precautions in place.  The Gala will be held virtually, but this doesn’t mean a lack of hors d’oeuvres, champagne, and fun seasonal treats!  Your personal “Be a Super Hero for WFC” Gala-in-a-Box kit will be available for pickup or delivery, so that you can get the full experience while streaming the event from the comfort of your home.

Formerly known as St. Joseph’s Medical Clinic, Waukesha Free Clinic is Wisconsin’s oldest free and charitable clinic, offering no-cost medical care to our friends and neighbors in Waukesha County since 1977.  We serve those who do not have health insurance and would otherwise be unable to access lifesaving medical services, and we are the only free clinic in the County that has a Homeless Outreach Program.

This year’s theme is Superheroes, in honor of the brave people who are serving their community on the front lines of the pandemic.  For $100 per person or $900 for a party of 10, each registrant will receive a personal Gala-in-a-Box, a private link for tuning into the Virtual Gala, and a ticket for a live drawing for AirPods.  Participants will also have the chance to purchase an Avengers Game Package that gives them access to live games like Heads or Tails, Save Superman, Gotham City Raffle, and Harley Quinn’s 52 Deck of Cards.  There will also be a silent auction, a mixology tutorial, a costume contest, and an appearance by Charlie Berens of Manitowoc Minute.
Fly in with your best Supersuit at 6:00pm on October 24th for a power hour of fun!  You can register your party at wfcgala2020.givesmart.com.
