OEF’s Taste Event 2024

Join us for an unforgettable evening of giving back and good times at the Onalaska Education Foundation’s Green Bay Packers themed 2024 “Taste” event. Indulge in the flavors of our community with a tempting array of dishes from beloved local restaurants while watching the Packers beat the 49ers on multiple 11-foot screens located throughout the venue!

In addition to watching the Packers game, you can also test your luck at our thrilling casino games with “celebrity” dealers, 50-50 raffles, bingo, and bid on exclusive silent auction items. Sip on refreshing drinks, enjoy live pre-game music from Saner and Gibbons, enjoy the Packers game in the company of friends, and, most importantly, show your support for our area schools while enjoying a fantastic evening out!

We’re planning to keep things casual while celebrating Onalaska Schools, the “Taste”, and the Green Bay Packers, so feel free to wear your favorite sports gear to the event!

Let’s unite for education, fun, generosity, and the Packers!
