Gala Giveaway Winner Selected

Baird Center is excited to announce that the Little Warrior Foundation is the recipient of the highly coveted 2027 Baird Center Gala Giveaway. In its fourth year, the annual contest provides a Milwaukee-area 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization a complimentary gala experience in the stunning rooftop Baird Ballroom at Baird Center, valued at $65,000.

Born out of a group of local families determined to change the future of Ewing sarcoma, the Little Warrior Foundation has quickly become a force for progress — raising more than $10.5 million in just five years to fund cutting-edge research and clinical trials across the country. What started as one family’s fight has grown into a powerful movement fueled by hope, urgency and an unwavering commitment to finding a cure.

The Little Warrior Foundation is scheduled to host its event on January 30, 2027.
