Penfield Croquet Match
2024
Penfield Children's Center
Croquet Match
In 1995, Penfield Children’s Center held its inaugural fundraising event, a Croquet Match that pitted the County Executive against the Mayor in a spirited display of friendly competition. Now, as we celebrate our roots, we’re returning to where it all began with this original fundraiser, inviting local companies to join us for a day of fun and camaraderie on the croquet field.
This event isn’t just about the competition; it’s a celebration of community spirit. Participants and supporters alike are encouraged to let loose and enjoy themselves while rallying behind their teams and showing their support for the children and families of Penfield Children’s Center. At the conclusion of the Croquet Match, two teams will emerge victorious: one for their skill on the field, scoring the most wickets, and the other for their generosity in raising the highest donations. So gather your team, join in the excitement, and help us continue the life-changing work that Penfield Children’s Center does for the children and families of Milwaukee.
