The Goodwill Starts with You! Gala, organized by Goodwill North Central Wisconsin (Goodwill NCW) and presented by Capital Credit Union, is set to return to the Lambeau Field Atrium on October 1, 2025. Nearly 700 attendees are expected at the event, which aims to highlight personal stories from individuals who have benefited from Goodwill NCW programs.
During the evening, guests will hear accounts from people who have overcome employment barriers through participation in Goodwill NCW initiatives. The event will also present data showing the community impact resulting from these efforts.
A central part of the program includes recognition of three individuals whose experiences represent the mission of Goodwill North Central Wisconsin: “Elevating People by Eliminating Barriers to Employment.” These individuals will be honored as recipients of the Edgar J. Helms: Achiever of the Year, Graduate of the Year, and Veteran of the Year awards for 2025.
Chris Hess, President and CEO of Goodwill NCW, will participate in the program beginning at 7 p.m., along with this year’s award winners.
Tickets and tables for the gala can be purchased until September 12 via the event's online portal.
