SAVE-THE-DATE: Friday, September 24, 2021: WVMF Annual Gala

Save-the-date and join us on Friday, September 24th for our annual gala at the beautiful Concourse Hotel & Governor's Club in Madison. The event will feature keynote speaker General Vince Brooks. A 1980 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, he led 4,000 cadets as the cadet brigade commander or “First Captain.” A history-maker, Brooks is the first African American to have been chosen for this paramount position, and he was the first cadet to lead the student body when women were in all four classes (freshman or “plebe” to senior or “first classman”). He is also the eighth African American in history to attain the military’s top rank – four-star general in the United States Army. All proceeds from this event support educational programs and exhibits at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. Registration opening in June of 2021!
