From milwaukeewave.com
Reality television fans, it’s time to gear up for the Milwaukee Wave Reality All-Stars Weekend, scheduled for March 17-19. The three-day event will feature castaways from reality television participating in a benefit dinner and celebrity soccer game.
Cast members scheduled to attend include: Ethan Zohn, Jenna Morasca, Tina Wesson, Chris Doherty, Rudy Boesch, Julie Barry, Jennifer Lyon Lex Vanden Berghe, Big Tom Buchanon, Ian Rosenberger, Chad Critteden, Leanne Slaby and Bobby John Drinkard.
The weekend kicks off with the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin’s green jersey auction on Friday, March 17. Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca will be on hand to mingle with fans at the 7:05 p.m. game against the Wave’s neighbors to the south, the Chicago Storm.
Fans will have the opportunity to meet Survivor cast members on Saturday, March 18 at a benefit dinner and silent auction held at Miller Brewing Company. A VIP reception will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for the first 50 fans. These lucky VIPs will enjoy the benefits of an extra hour with the stars, personal pictures with castaways as well as the dinner from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. as listed below. It’s an extra $50 to become a VIP.
Dinner will be held from 7-10 p.m. and includes three drinks, unlimited soda, heavy appetizers provided by Saz’s Catering and entertainment by Comedy Sportz and Ko-Thi Dance Company. Attendees will mingle with Survivor cast members throughout the night. It’s only $50 and limited to the first 200 fans, so you’ll want to get your tickets soon to avoid missing out on the fun. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Milwaukee Wave ticket office (414-224-9283) or or stopping by the Miller Visitors Center (4251 W. State St.) or Saz’s (5539 W. State St.).
The silent auction will feature a variety of items, with all of the proceeds to benefit Grassroot Soccer and the Kick AIDS program. Founded by Survivor Africa winner Ethan Zohn, both programs train professional soccer players to become AIDS educators at local schools in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and other nations. Grassroot Soccer continues to harness the power of sport to engage young minds in essential life skills and HIV/AIDS prevention education.
The fun doesn’t end there. On Sunday, March 19, following the Milwaukee Wave and Philadelphia KiXX match, the castaways will play in a celebrity game with Milwaukee Wave Legends (including goalkeeper Victor Nogueira). The Wave game is slated to begin at 1:05 p.m., with the celebrity game at the conclusion of the Wave match. It’s also Keith Tozer day as the team will honor him for his 600 career wins and hand out a Tozer bobble-head to the first 5,000 fans.
