Our mission is to bring community health to life through our donors and supporters. One opportunity for that is at our upcoming, annual fundraising event, The Black Tie & Blue Jean Extravaganza.
The Bellin Health Foundation was established in 1994 with a mission to bring local health initiatives to life. With the help of our donors and friends, we envision access to world-class healthcare without financial compromises. Giving opportunities through the foundation help advance our common goals in that direction. These shared efforts create and preserve robust solutions for health-centered challenges. Together, we ensure your pledges and gifts turn into actions that impact the lives of others and make a difference at Bellin Health.
The Black Tie & Blue Jean Extravaganza is an annual, one-of-a-kind fundraising event that takes place each fall and is located in the Lambeau Field Atrium where guests are invited to a wonderful evening that benefits a different Bellin Health program or service each year. This year, we are proud to name the Bellin patient assistance fund as our 2024 recipient.
