THE EVENT :
Kapco and a number of generous partners are pleased to present the 12th annual Grand Slam Charity Jam that will benefit Camp Hometown Heroes, Camp Reunite and other important programs for children facing trauma. This year’s headliner is comedy legend Jim Belushi & The Board of Comedy improv show. We are also thrilled to welcome America’s Favorite Yacht Rock Band, The Docksiders! The event features a cocktail party, silent and live auctions, scrumptious dinner, live music and more. The Grand Slam Charity Jam is truly a great party with a purpose!
WHEN & WHERE:
The Grand Slam Charity Jam will take place on Saturday, October 15, 2022 at the Wisconsin Center’s Grand Ballroom in downtown Milwaukee. The event begins with a hosted cocktail reception at 4:30 pm featuring a massive silent auction, followed by a gourmet plated dinner, concert and afterparty.
THE BENEFICIARIES:
This year, we are raising funds for Camp Hometown Heroes, Camp Reunite and Turning Rivers. Camp Hometown Heroes is a free week-long summer camp for children who lost a parent or sibling through service in the U.S. Military. These children made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Camp Hometown Heroes provides them with restored hope and healing. In addition, with a long-term lease of the beautiful Turning Rivers camp facility north of Milwaukee, funds will be utilized for Camp Reunite, a groundbreaking program for children who have an incarcerated parent. Turning Rivers is a unique facility that welcomes thousands of children and volunteers each year. The Grand Slam Charity Jam funding allows this facility to serve even more children.
