Garding Against Cancer 4th Annual Signature Event

Supporting Cancer Research

September 10, 2020 at 7pm


Because cancer doesn’t stop for COVID, we are hosting a virtual event with Coach Greg and Michelle Gard in lieu of our annual signature event at the Kohl Center! You’ll be part of a special program with some surprise guests, learn more about how the UW Carbone Cancer Center is continuing to serve patients during the pandemic, and bid on silent auction items-- all from the comfort of your own home!

To create a more festive environment, a special food and beverage package created and hosted by Eno Vino West Side, Frank Liquor, and Wisconsin Distributors will be available for advance purchase with the premium ticket option. This package will include a three-course meal including cheese plate, an entree choice of braised beef short ribs or goat cheese tortellini (vegetarian), and crème brulee. Dinner will be paired with an individual craft cocktail kit and Stella Artois beer, along with festive barware*.

Pickup will take place at Eno Vino West Side on September 10 from 5:00 – 6:00 PM.

Complimentary tickets are also available, without the food and beverage package, and all are welcome to register and join us for the virtual program.
