Hi, Reader,

Welcome to The WPP Connector!

☀️ Summer Event with a Heart – Recap ❤️

On August 21, WPP hosted our Summer Event with a Heart at Buck & Honey’s in Monona, and it was a tremendous success!

✨ The Numbers

• 75+ attendees came together for networking, connection, and community impact.
• Together, we raised over $3,000 on event day through the silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and donations.
• As of this week, fundraising totals have climbed to $4,369+ and still growing—we anticipate reaching nearly $5,000 for the American Heart Association (AHA).

✨ Highlights

• The sports memorabilia silent auction was a huge hit—special congrats to Jon Poletti and Anne Baranski, who each took home two winning items!
• The AHA Hands-Only CPR training station drew in many participants. Several businesses expressed interest in bringing this training to their workplaces, extending the event’s impact even further.
• Networking, community spirit, and giving back were at the heart of the evening—and WPP members showed up in a big way.

✨ What’s Next

• Businesses interested in Hands-Only CPR training for their staff can connect directly with the American Heart Association—we’d be happy to make introductions.
• You can also register a company team and join the upcoming Heart Walk on Friday, September 13 at McKee Farms Park in Fitchburg, WI.

❤️ 100% of proceeds from this event support the American Heart Association, funding lifesaving research, training, and education.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, donated, bid, and shared their energy. Together, we’re proving that networking with purpose makes a real impact.

🎃Get Ready for a Spooktacular Networking Event👻

At Wisconsin Power Partners, we believe the strongest connections are made when we come together—not just for business, but for community. 💜

That’s why we are thrilled to partner with five other local business organizations to host the 2nd Annual SPOOKTACULAR Networking Night!

This event is more than just networking. It’s about uniting as a community, sharing resources, and making a real difference together. By attending, you’ll enjoy:

🛒 The chance to give back—please bring a non-perishable food item to support The River Food Pantry, a lifeline for many families in our area.

This night represents the very best of what we can do when we work together: building relationships, strengthening our businesses, and lifting up our neighbors in need.

🧙‍♀️ Costumes are welcome, smiles are required! 🧙‍♂️

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating community, connection, and giving back.
