- The Chair's Challenge -

Sunset Soiree

In June, the Chair of our Board of Trustees will challenge us to raise $40,000 to fund a specific initiative for Old World Wisconsin this year. Those who donate $250 or more to this "Chair’s Challenge" will be invited to attend an exclusive celebration at Old World Wisconsin on the evening of August 23, called our Sunset Soiree. Watch this page, our e-newsletter and social media channels for more information.

Sunset Soiree is a celebration of thanks for those who have donated to our annual Chair's Challenge. It is our primary annual fundraiser. Each year, the Chair of our Board of Trustees issues a challenge to our Friends and supporters to raise a certain amount of money for a chosen project or program.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Chair's Challenge/Sunset Soiree to fund enhancements to the Pleasant Ridge area of Old World Wisconsin AND fund increased programming to share the stories of Black families who settled in rural Wisconsin.

Our past fundraisers include:

Sunset Soiree 2024
Sunset Soiree 2023
Sunset Soiree 2022
Sunset Soiree 2021
Sunset Soiree 2020
Sunset Soiree 2019
Sunset Soiree 2024

Sunset Soiree... an enchanted evening celebrating our Friends and Supporters.
