A special thank you to Willow Newell for sharing such an uplifting message of belonging, confidence, and empowerment. Your words encouraged not only our girls, but everyone in the room, and made this year's Afternoon Tea even more meaningful.

Thank you to The Gibson Social Club, especially Ellee and Will, for providing such a beautiful venue, and to becket's, especially Kris and the entire team, for the wonderful luncheon.

Thank you to our guest photographer, Phil Weston of Weston Imaging Group, for beautifully capturing the joy of the day.

Our Quest members had a blast cooling off with a water balloon toss! From cheering each other on to laughing through every catch (and every splash!), it was the perfect way to enjoy a warm summer day together.

Sometimes the simplest activities create the biggest smiles. We're so glad our members get to spend their summer making memories, trying new things, and having fun with friends. ☀️💙 ... See MoreSee Less

Making a splash this summer! 💦☀️

Our Great Explorers members have been building confidence and learning important water safety skills through swim lessons at the Oshkosh YMCA! 🏊‍♀️💙

Thanks to a grant from the Michael Phelps Foundation’s IM Program, our members have had the opportunity to practice swimming, learn new skills, and become more comfortable in the water, all while having fun and encouraging each other along the way.

A huge thank you to the Oshkosh YMCA for providing these lessons and to the Michael Phelps Foundation for helping make this experience possible. We’re grateful for partners who create opportunities for our youth to learn, grow, and feel confident trying something new! 💙 ... See MoreSee Less

Game on! 🎮😄💙

Our Radford members had an awesome day at Badger Sports Park, where they spent time playing arcade games, challenging their friends, and celebrating every win—big or small!

From friendly competition to lots of laughter, it was one of those days filled with fun, excitement, and memories made together. We're so grateful for opportunities like these that give our youth the chance to explore new places, have fun, and just be kids. ☀️ ... See MoreSee Less

Today is the day! 💙☕✨

Over the past several weeks, our Character & Empowerment Class has given Club girls the chance to explore STEM, build confidence, discover their strengths, express themselves through movement, and learn from incredible women throughout our community.

To wrap up the series, our girls prepared for this afternoon's Afternoon Tea by creating one-of-a-kind canvas paintings for each of our guests to take home. Inspired by Miss Wisconsin Willow Newell's ART of Belonging initiative, the activity was a reminder that every person has something meaningful to contribute and that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and like they belong.

As each brushstroke came together, so did the excitement for today's celebration. We can't wait for our guests to receive these special keepsakes, each one created with care by the girls this event is all about. Thank you to Joye & Rachel Moon for helping with this project!

To everyone joining us today, thank you for believing in the potential of the next generation. Your support creates opportunities for girls to learn, grow, find their voice, and discover that they truly belong.

We'll see you at Afternoon Tea! 💙🌸 ... See MoreSee Less
