About the Foundation
The Madison Club Foundation is a new and exciting not-for-profit entity established in 2005 that aims to help local charities raise money and further their cause through social activities, programs and events held at the Madison Club in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.
The Madison Club Foundation’s signature event, a formal charity gala, was designed to recognize and promote a new local charity each year. The Madison Club Foundation has raised over $389,000 over the past eight years. Recipients of these proceeds include:

Annual Charity Gala
The Madison Club Foundation’s seventh annual Charity Gala on October 22, 2011 was a resounding success. The sold-out event, which raised nearly $78,000 for the construction of the Ronald McDonald House Family Room at St. Mary’s Hospital, featured a fun evening of champagne, gourmet food, lively auction bidding and outstanding music from the Ken Wheaton Trio.
The Madison Club Foundation's eighth annual Charity Gala will be held on Saturday, November 10, 2012 at the Madison Club. Visit www.madisonclubfoundation.org for more information.
The Annual Charity Gala is sponsored by Quarles & Brady LLP.
