Step onto the iconic greens of Milwaukee Country Club for an evening where tradition meets purpose. The Penfield Children’s Center Croquet Ball is more than a celebration, it’s a gathering of a community committed to changing the trajectory of a child’s life.

Before the evening begins, a beloved tradition carries on, the Croquet Match. A playful nod to the event’s origins more than 30 years ago, two passionate competitors take to the lawn to vie for the title, honoring the spirit of how this event first began and how it has grown into what it is today.

As the evening unfolds, sip, savor, and connect through a thoughtfully curated program, powerful stories from Penfield families, and moments designed to inspire generosity. As twilight settles in, explore a dynamic silent and live auction, each bid directly fueling life-changing care for children and families across our community.

And when the program concludes, the celebration is far from over. Guests are invited to a lively after party where the energy builds, the music plays, and the community comes together in a whole new way.

This is elegance with impact. This is joy with purpose. And together, it’s how we create brighter beginnings.
