With the theme of “Strong Foundation, Stronger Future,” the Zonta Club of Milwaukee will celebrate its 100th anniversary with a Centennial Celebration Fundraiser on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at The Garage at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee.

The milestone event will recognize a century of service to women and girls while looking ahead to the club’s continued impact in the Milwaukee community.

Founded in 1926, the Zonta Club of Milwaukee has spent the past 100 years working to ensure women have the support and opportunities needed to thrive. Through education, mentoring, financial assistance, advocacy, and efforts to create environments free from violence, generations of Zonta members have worked to improve the lives of women locally and beyond.

The centennial celebration will also highlight Project Wellspring, the Zonta Club of Milwaukee’s signature centennial project created in partnership with Community Advocates. Project Wellspring is designed to support survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking as they transition into safe, stable housing.

Through Project Wellspring, survivors and their families entering transitional or rapid rehousing will receive essential household furnishings, case management services, and access to an emergency fund. The initiative is designed not only to address immediate needs but also to promote long-term stability, independence, and financial literacy.

The Centennial Celebration Fundraiser begins at 6 p.m. with appetizers, a cash bar, socializing, a raffle, and silent auction. Dinner and the program begin at 7 p.m., followed by a live auction, with music by the Chanda “Chae” Harris Band. The evening will conclude at approximately 9:30 p.m.

Tickets are $175 per person, with $50 of each ticket tax deductible. Tickets must be purchased by October 21, 2026.
