hope street family reunion
25th anniversary Evening gala

thursday, october 17, 2024 | 5:30pm-8:30pm | Baird center

This year’s event is two fold! Daytime Experience and Evening Gala. A beautiful part about joining us for the Evening Gala is that the Daytime Interactive Greenhouse walkthrough experience is included in your event ticket price! 

​

In the Interactive Greenhouse walkthrough experience you will be able to audibly hear: stories, our current reality and the broken heartbeat of our city. See artists’ creative take on their hope for Milwaukee, as well as be inspired by the organizations that are doing

their part to restore hope. We were made to flourish, this immersive experience will invite you in and through that process.

​

Our evening gala will be a time of celebration and sharing of stories. To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Hope Street Ministry, there will be a special program at the end of the evening. You can expect to be deeply moved by stories, written and spoken art, music and videos of lives transformed through the positive work of Hope Street.
