About Wisconsin

Gilda’s Club Madison is dedicated to ensuring that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.

So that no one faces cancer alone.

Kids mission it so provide:

• Showmanship - Providing opportunites for the state's talented youth to put on a Broadway caliber show
• Leadership - Inspiring future performers in underserved communities through music education in workshops and classrooms
• Partnerships - working with communities, schools, art organizations to develop and deliver local arts enrichment programs.

In the winter of 1983, Madison businesswoman Pleasant Rowland saw the opportunity to improve access to the arts and create a sense of community while gathering on the beautiful Wisconsin State Capitol lawn. By the summer of 1984, that idea evolved into the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra's first season of Concerts on the Square. Like today, the series was completely free of charge for the entire community. It has grown into a gem of Madison, and annually over 200,000 patrons come together on the Square for this six-concert series.

The Capitols mission is to develop players on and off the ice, and help them earn college scholarships where they can continue to improve their hockey skills while gaining a great education.
