St. Francis Children’s Center (SFCC) invites the community to don their best Derby attire and join in a celebration of impact at the 33rd annual Pours for a Purpose, a wine, beer, and chocolate tasting fundraiser taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at the Center.
This year’s event will feature a festive, Kentucky Derby-inspired atmosphere, complete with signature sips, stylish hats, and spirited community connection. Guests will enjoy a curated selection of wines, craft beers, and specialty treats from local vendors, alongside live music, silent auction, 50/50 cash raffle, and the opportunity to explore the Center’s programs and spaces firsthand.
More than just a lively evening, Pours for a Purpose offers attendees a unique opportunity to see SFCC’s mission in action. By hosting the event on-site, guests can explore the classrooms, therapy spaces, and programs that serve more than 1,500 children and families each year.
Tickets are $60 per person and include event admission, tastings, and access to all activities. Proceeds from the event directly support SFCC’s comprehensive programs, including inclusive early childhood education, pediatric outpatient therapy, early intervention services, and family-centered programming that empower children and families across Milwaukee County.
