The HYFIN Anti-Gala

On June 5 at The Cooperage, HYFIN will host its signature annual fundraiser, the HYFIN Anti-Gala, an immersive cultural experience where music, community, and impact collide.

This year's Anti-Gala theme is "Shell toes. Soundwaves. Social Impact." — an homage to hip-hop from the 1980s, an iconic decade for Black music. Guests will experience the energy of a family-style cookout, DJs spinning classic sounds of the decade, authentic '80s memorabilia curated by the Milwaukee Hip Hop Museum, and a signature dessert experience from Kimberly Sweets, winner of the Netflix series Is It Cake?

All activities throughout the evening, including an auction of a handful of exclusive packages, directly support HYFIN's mission.
