Old World Foundation had the opportunity to recognize and thank several of our corporate partners during our Annual Meeting and End of Year Celebration at the end of September.
We are thankful for Milwaukee Tool - Mukwonago Operations for their financial sponsorship of The Blacksmith Experience, their in-kind tool donations and their volunteer support. At our gathering, the Milwaukee Tool team presented the foundation with a check for an additional $4000. This donation will be used to purchase a golf cart for Old World Wisconsin.


We also recognized Associated Bank for their support of The Token Experience this season at Old World Wisconsin. They have also given volunteer support.

We are thankful for the partnership of these corporations!

Our Friends are those who support Old World Wisconsin through our Foundation. To recognize the tremendous impact our Friends have on Old World Wisconsin, we hosted an annual "Friends Appreciation Day" on July 19. On this day, we celebrated our Friends and offered a short morning program with food and beverages.
Here is a look back at the fun!
