This event has passed.

Courage MKE is pleased to announce our 2016 fundraiser; Unlocking the Future, an event for homeless LGBTQ+ youth will be at 1451 Renaissance Place on November 4, 2016.

100% of this year's proceeds will go toward opening our own drop in shelter, The Courage House here in Milwaukee.

On any given night Milwaukee can have 500 homeless youth, 40% of which identify as LGBTQ+.  Opening The Courage House will provide our youth with a safe place to rest their heads at night, as well as though partnerships with local businesses, we will be able to provide a resource center to help our youth with their schooling as well as prepare them for jobs.

This year's event will be hosted by Milwaukee legend BJ Daniels.  We have yet another star studded cast of state wide entertainers, DJ Chomper will be on hand too!!    We are honored and humbled to have Jamar Rogers from American Idol and The Voice lend us his talents for the evening as well.

Our silent auction as well as other activites will be offered this year.  We will also be collecting items fro our Courage kits this evening. Our caterer promises not to disapoint with passed appetizers and stations throughout the venue!
