Details:

Join Independence First for a special evening high above downtown Milwaukee at Blu Milwaukee, the rooftop lounge atop the iconic The Pfister Hotel.

As part of Blu’s popular “BluTender” fundraiser series, Independence First staff and supporters will step behind the bar for a fun and energetic happy hour where 10% of bar sales and 100% of tips will directly support our mission. Guests can enjoy cocktails, conversation, and panoramic views of the Milwaukee skyline while helping us raise funds toward the purchase of a new agency vehicle that will support community outreach and help transport larger mobility equipment such as wheelchairs and assistive technology.

This casual summer fundraiser is an opportunity to connect with friends of Independence First, meet members of our team, and support greater independence and accessibility for people with disabilities throughout southeastern Wisconsin.

Whether you stop in for one drink or stay the whole evening, every tip and every toast helps move our mission forward.

We hope to see you at Blu!
