Thank You!

Thank you for participating in this year’s Champion of the Year event! Because of you, we were able to raise funds to sustain and help expand our Best Buddies programs in the area. We look forward to having you at next year’s event. With your help and support, our mission of inclusion lives on!

COY Supper Club

Best Buddies Champion of the Year is a competitive fundraising campaign that unites and recognizes leaders of inclusion in local communities nationwide.

Champion Candidates commit to raising funds and awareness for Best Buddies throughout their campaign. Our Champions advocate for the Best Buddies mission and will generate countless opportunities for friendships, jobs, leadership development, inclusive living, and family support. At the Best Buddies Champion of the Year celebration, we honor the Champions’ collective impact and name the ultimate Champion of the Year!

A Supper Club is a social hub where the warmth of a shared meal fosters good conversation, celebrates community, and creates lasting memories. There is nothing more unique to WISCONSIN than a Supper Club.

It’s a cultural experience that goes beyond the palate, offering a taste of local camaraderie and history. Three things are a must have for any great supper club. The VIBE, the DRINK and the RELISH TRAY. The ambiance of a supper club is unmistakable, with its cozy, retro charm and the clinking of the ice in your Brandy old fashioned or the sip of your first kiddie cocktail. Don’t forget to pass around the relish tray —a spread of pickles, Wisconsin cheese, and other appetizers that set the stage for an evening of hearty dining and lively conversation.

Join us on October 24th at the Best Buddies Wisconsin Supper Club for a slice of nostalgia, as we serve up new memories and make new friends, the Old Fashioned way.
