Whitefish Bay High School Field House


This spring, the Whitefish Bay Field House will be transformed for an elegant evening filled with carnival-inspired experiences designed to delight, surprise, and unite our community for a cause that matters.

This unforgettable night will raise funds for the Whitefish Bay Public Education Foundation, which is prioritizing the following needs of our schools:

  • New playgrounds at Cumberland and Richards Elementary Schools

  • Student clubs and enrichment programs at the Middle and High Schools

Formal invitation, sponsorships and ticket details coming soon.

If you’d like to get involved—whether by joining a planning committee, becoming a sponsor, or simply learning more—please contact us at BayBallWhitefishBay@gmail.com with details about your interests.

  • Organically grown, and CCOF certified, La Encantada Estate Wines bring a taste of the Santa Rita Hills and California terroir to Whitefish Bay. John and Adrienne Grunau are donating 100% of the proceeds from all wine purchased online prior to the event. We are so grateful to the Grunau Family for their support, and for sharing their award winning wine with us.

    Any bottles you purchase online will be waiting for you at check-in the day of the event, along with drinkware.

    Purchasing your wine presale not only guarantees you a bottle or two, it also provides additional financial support to the evening’s fundraising goal.

  • Each bracelet is good for three adult beverages, non-alcoholic beverages will be available free of charge. Molson Coors products will be available as part of a donation by Dave and Carrie Osswald, and a selection of wine will be available for purchase by the glass.

    Purchasing drink bracelets ahead of time saves you time when you arrive at the event. Bay Ball staff will have them prepared for you as part of your event registration packet.

  • Deliciousness. Third Coast Provisions is providing the catering. They own Merriment Social and Third Coast Provisions, and if you’ve ever been to either of their restaurants then you know how incredible their food is. There will be small plate food stations set up throughout the venue, and gluten free options will be available.

    Some guests may choose to have dinner ahead of time, however there will be more than enough to eat at the event if you choose not to.

  • The big question! Cocktail attire, and make sure it’s something you can dance in. Steve Beguhn is providing the entertainment; he’s everyone’s favorite WFB rockstar and he even has groupies.

Educate the Bay

The Whitefish Bay Public Education Foundation is a volunteer run, non-profit organization that provides funding to Whitefish Bay Public Schools to support the District’s commitment to educational excellence for the children in our community. 

After a covid-induced hiatus we are thrilled to announce, Bay Ball is back! This year the funds raised by Bay Ball will support the Whitefish Bay School District’s ongoing Technology Improvement Initiative.

Classrooms and meeting rooms across the District will be equipped with Newline Interactive Digital Display Boards, replacing our failing and outdated Smartboard technology. The new displays equip our students and educators with the most up to date interactive classroom technology and support the District’s commitment to providing the best possible educational experience for the children of Whitefish Bay.
