As United Way of Dane County’s largest donor base, we are a network of caring philanthropic leaders dedicated to tackling the toughest issues facing our neighbors. Through leadership gifts of $1,000+ annually (or $40 per paycheck), Lead United members invest in making Dane County a place where everyone has what they need to thrive. Through our collective investment, we empower United Way to create long-term change for local families through the Plan for Community Well-Being. And we gather throughout the year to learn, engage and connect as a community.About Women UnitedWomen United is a network of women across Dane County who believe in the power of investing in each other. We know financial insecurity doesn’t discriminate, and too many women, especially mothers, work full time or juggle multiple jobs while struggling to get by. Whether we’ve lived this experience or stand beside those who have, we’re united to lift others as we climb. Through gifts of $1,000+ annually (or $40 per paycheck), our members invest in bold strategies that help women and their families build the futures they envision. We also invest in our members through opportunities for personal and professional growth and by supporting corporate women’s groups. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/madison/2026-lead-united-small-plates-big-impact;-a-flannel-and-fireside-soiree/100001995691042631 - **Event Categories**: food-drinks - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Barnwood Events WI, LLC - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Madison - **state**: WI - **country**: United States - **location**: Barnwood Events WI, LLC - **lat**: 43.021614 - **long**: -89.36335749999999 - **full address**: Barnwood Events WI, LLC, 3230 Larsen Road, Madison, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 Lead United: Small Plates, Big Impact; A Flannel & Fireside Soiree - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/62b46f2359804f1c6195f9eaab02f1eb5ba7ccbd5d389e996d8bcc89eb9d3db8-rimg-w1200-h675-dc686868-gmir.jpg?v=1788913997 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 Lead United: Small Plates, Big Impact; A Flannel & Fireside Soiree being held? - **A:** 2026 Lead United: Small Plates, Big Impact; A Flannel & Fireside Soiree takes place on Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Barnwood Events WI, LLC, 3230 Larsen Road, Madison, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2026 Lead United: Small Plates, Big Impact; A Flannel & Fireside Soiree? - **A:** 2026 Lead United: Small Plates, Big Impact; A Flannel & Fireside Soiree is organized by United Way Lead United. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
