Two of Radio Milwaukee’s biggest events are almost here

After a lot of planning, meetings, emails, Slack messages and more, it’s hard to believe we’re only a few weeks (days?!?!?) out from a pair of marquee Radio Milwaukee events.

The 88Nine Fall Ball is back

Next Saturday, Sept. 21, the 88Nine Fall Ball returns to our rooftop and performance space! Presented by Christie and Bill Krugler, this was one of our most popular events before it went on hiatus five years ago. Well, it’s back for an evening that starts on the Radio Milwaukee rooftop with drinks, appetizers and one of the best views in the city.

But the real good stuff happens inside, when Karaoke for a Cause takes over our stage for an exclusive event with community leaders performing on stage with a live band. We’re talking former lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes, Top Chef star Dan Jacobs, Victoriah Banuelos of REYNA, OnMilwaukee’s Molly Snyder and more!!! You can find the full roster of performers right here.

But the night isn’t over yet. 88Nine DJs will step up and add to the atmosphere with a dance party built by you! For the first time, attendees will have the opportunity to request songs by making a donation to Radio Milwaukee.

All proceeds for the 88Nine Fall Ball directly support Radio Milwaukee and the programming you love to hear every day. Get your tickets now!

The 88Nine Fall Ball is presented by Christie and Bill Krugler with additional sponsorship from Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren S.C., Ellenbecker Investment Group, Educators Credit Union, von Briesen and Roper, Husch Blackwell and Badger Liquor.


The 2024 HYFIN Anti-Gala

Because we love our events, less than three weeks later is another chance to rub elbows with Radio Milwaukee personalities and community leaders: the HYFIN Anti-Gala, our biggest fundraiser of the year that celebrates Black excellence and Black Milwaukee.

Taking place at Turner Hall Ballroom on Thursday, Oct. 10, the evening celebrates the past, present and future of Black excellence as we come together to support HYFIN’s mission. But leave your tuxedos and gowns at home. It’s all about expressing yourself through the lens of Afrofuturism and this year’s theme …

Imagine a world where the whimsy of The Wiz collides with the boundless creativity and innovation of Afrofuturism. That’s what you’ll experience at the 2024 HYFIN Anti-Gala. This year’s event includes an awards ceremony honoring Milwaukee’s amazing Black talent, fashion show inspired by The Wiz designed by Edessa School of Fashion, dinner menu from award-winning chefs and VJ set from DJ Bizzon to close out the night.

Tables are filling fast, so make sure to pick up your tickets today.

The HYFIN Anti-Gala is sponsored by Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren S.C., the Brewers Community Foundation, Bader Philanthropies and WE Energies.
