Exceptional cuisine. Inspiring voices. One unforgettable night.
Join us at Lupi & Iris for the third annual A Brilliant Evening, a thoughtfully curated celebration of Islands of Brilliance and the extraordinary neurodivergent students at the heart of our mission.
This is not your typical gala.
You’ll enjoy a French- and Italian-Riviera-inspired meal crafted by James Beard Award-winning Chef Adam Siegel, in one of downtown Milwaukee’s most celebrated dining spaces.
You’ll hear directly from our students—not in a video—but live on stage, telling their stories in their own voice. These are the moments that stay with you.
You’ll laugh and reflect during our annual address from Executive Director Mark Fairbanks, who pairs meaningful impact data with the kind of storytelling that has become a signature of the evening.
And when the live auction begins, you’ll find truly one-of-a-kind items, including framed student artwork and sought-after Urban Pizza Farm experiences you won’t find at any other event.
The evening includes:
A three-course dinner inspired by Executive Chef Adam Siegel at Lupi & Iris
Inspiring stories from IOB students, families, and team members
Annual address from Executive Director Mark Fairbanks
Unique opportunities for generosity, including our signature live auction
This is a night to nourish the senses, lift the spirit, and invest in the future of creative, neurodivergent brilliance. We hope you’ll join us.
