Women United

Women United Bruncheon

Women United 2025 Bruncheon

The 2025 Women United Bruncheon was held at the Pfister Hotel on Tuesday, May 13. We welcomed nearly 600 guests for networking and shared highlights from our first-ever Advocacy Day at the State Capitol. We celebrated United Way's key initiative, Teen Mental Wellness: Empowering Minds, during the event and heard moving stories about its impact.

Guests heard from Waukesha South High School's principal and counselor, along with their implementation coach from CESA 6 about how this program has made a positive impact on their school community.

More than $145,000 was raised at the Bruncheon to support this important initiative. Thank you to all who attended!
