FINALE PARTY SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
On Saturday, September 29, we will celebrate the completion of the parade with a Finale Party at the Kohl Center. Not only will we say farewell to the 85 statues who spent their summer in Madison, but there will also be the chance to bid on 30 of the one-of-a-kind Bucky statues through live and silent auctions. All event proceeds will benefit Garding Against Cancer, the Madison Area Sports Commission and other community charities.
