Art for Arthritis gala to return in October at Saint Kate Hotel

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Arthritis Foundation will host its second annual Art for Arthritis gala on Friday, Oct. 17, at Saint Kate: The Arts Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.

The event will feature six juvenile arthritis champions who will share their stories and artistic work created alongside professional mentor artists.

Leah Delaney, development director of the Arthritis Foundation Wisconsin, joined us on Monday, Sept. 29, along with youth artist Charlotte Clark and mentor artist Jan Sather to give us a preview.

Organizers expect about 300 community leaders, health care providers, donors and families to attend. The evening will include a live auction of the art, with proceeds supporting Arthritis Foundation research, advocacy and Wisconsin-based resources.

The program begins at 6 p.m. at Saint Kate in Milwaukee. More information can be found by clicking here.
