Attendees

What to wear? Attire for this event is cocktail. We also challenge you to include a "pop of orange" in your outfit to show your support for kidney health. 

Where am I going? We will be in the Oakton Ballroom on the northeast corner of The Ingleside Hotel. The Ingleside is at 2810 Golf Rd, Pewaukee, WI 53072, between Exit 293 and Exit 291 if you are taking I-94. 

What if I forgot to tell you who is sitting at my table? Don't fret! If there is no nametag waiting for your guest, they can proceed to the GiveSmart Registration Station. Your guest will just need to share their host's name to get registered at the event. 

How do I give using using an alternate payment method like my donor advised fund, cash, or check? Stop by the Silent Auction checkout at the end of the evening or contact Carolyn Spath at 414-897-8669 or [email protected] with instructions. 

Why is my fund-the mission gift or other activities not on my receipt yet? Charges from the event need to be manually added to GiveSmart after the event. It takes a few days to ensure this is done as accurately as possible. You may see a message from GiveSmart as these charges are being added 2-3 business days after the event. Thanks for being patient.
