On Friday, May 1, 2026, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee (BBBSMM), hosted “The Art of Pairing,” a vibrant and memorable fundraising event held at ThriveOn King, welcoming nearly 200 guests for an evening celebrating creativity, connection, and mentorship. Attendees enjoyed three thoughtfully curated wine and chocolate pairings led by professional sommeliers, while the lively atmosphere brought friends together to experience live art sales and local businesses that emphasize the art of indulgence, taste, and experience. A highlight of the evening was the featured Match artwork, pieces created collaboratively by Bigs and Littles, beautifully illustrating the true art of pairing and the power of mentorship. The night was further energized by live entertainment from Wait For Morning, a living statue experience to enhance the artistic theme, and several talented local artists, whose work alongside Match-created art reinforced the meaningful bond that pairing and creativity creates. Also in attendance for the event were BBBSMM President and CEO Neil Willenson and BBBSMM Director of Community Engagement Amanda Braun.
