For the second year in a row, the Milwaukee Wave Indoor Soccer team is dedicating a game to raise money for our benefit.
Everyone who loves exciting soccer action is invited to attend! The Wave of Hope Foundation, the non-profit organization affiliated with the team, supports local children and charities by producing special charity jerseys and auctioning them off, plus donating $2 from each ticket sold to the designated charity.

Our benefit game is scheduled for Friday, February 10, at 7:00 p.m. at the US Cellular Arena. To buy tickets, please follow this link. This way, the $2 donation per ticket will be credited to us.

We also are looking for volunteers to help us out at the game. To volunteer, please contact our office at
