The West Bend community is uniting for the 16th Avenue Flood Relief Benefit to raise funds for families whose homes were severely damaged by record-breaking floods. The event is on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Gary’s Place, 110 Wisconsin Ave., West Bend, WI, on the back patio.
This benefit supports the Bettin, Christiansen, Damschen, Fellenz, Hanrahan, Jarr, Sabo-Gripentrog, and Wendt families, who suffered significant losses from the devastating floods on August 9, 2025. All proceeds will directly aid these families in rebuilding their lives.
Event Highlights
• Delicious Food and Beverages: Enjoy offerings from Gary’s Place, with 10% of proceeds donated to the families.
• Live Music: Local favorite Downtown Harrison will perform, creating a lively and uplifting atmosphere.
• Sample Beverage Tastings: Participating vendors will offer tastings to delight attendees.
• Charity Raffle: A raffle at 7:30 PM will feature prizes from local sponsors and a 50/50 raffle. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses and individuals.
“The floods have been devastating for our community,” said event organizers Riley and Ashley Hansen, and Chris and Jenni Thompson. “This benefit is a chance for us to show kindness and support to our neighbors in need.”
