Inspired to Act is Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay’s annual fundraising and awareness event that brings together community members, supporters, and partners to celebrate the life-changing work of Catholic Charities throughout Northeast Wisconsin.
The evening features inspiring stories, guest speakers, a shared meal, and opportunities to support programs that provide counseling, pregnancy and adoption services, financial stability assistance, refugee support, and other vital resources for individuals and families in need.
Funds raised help ensure Catholic Charities can continue serving people of all faiths with compassion, hope, and dignity.
Last year, Inspired to Act welcomed hundreds of supporters for an evening that highlighted the real impact of Catholic Charities. Guests heard powerful stories of hope and transformation, learned how Catholic Charities programs help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, and saw firsthand how community support makes that work possible.
The evening featured a keynote presentation from Fr. Leo Patalinghug, mission-focused storytelling, fellowship, and opportunities to invest in life-changing services through direct giving and the event auction. Together, attendees raised more than $210,000 to support counseling, pregnancy and adoption services, financial stability programs, and other essential resources that strengthen our communities.
Listen to the stories from community leaders, donors, and volunteer on how Catholic Charities uplifts our communities.
If you were unable to attend, but still wish to support Catholic Charities, please consider making a donation, dropping off items from our wish list or volunteering your time with one of our programs.
Please save the date for May 6, 2027, for the 13th Annual Inspired to Act event.
We hope to see you there!
