AARP Wisconsin

AARP Wisconsin will be sponsoring three days at the China Lights show for our members and their guests, Oct. 10, 11 and 12 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. each day, at Boerner Botanical Gardens, 9400 Boerner Dr., Hales Corners, WI 53130.

Every day, AARP is working to make Wisconsin a great place for everyone to work, live, and thrive. To do that, we work with legislators at the local, state, and federal levels to support policies that positively impact Wisconsinites of all ages, and particularly those aged 50+.

A proposal by the VIA Community Development Corporation (CDC) to revamp a “story garden” community space in a southside Milwaukee neighborhood lot has been selected to receive an AARP Wisconsin “Small Dollar, Big Impact” grant.

In an effort to learn what Wisconsinites think about the future of Social Security, we at AARP Wisconsin will be visiting dozens of communities across the state this summer and fall to talk face-to-face with residents about this critical issue.

A proposal to equip a fleet of piloted adaptive bicycles with an automated external defibrillator (AED) has been selected to receive this month’s AARP Wisconsin “Small Dollar, Big Impact” grant. The $1,000 grant will help River Valley Trails, Inc. fund the cost of purchasing an AED to make bicycling trips safer for those of all ages.

We are thrilled to announce that six projects in five cities throughout Wisconsin will receive a combined $84,300 in 2023 Community Challenge grants. Grants will be awarded to two projects in Milwaukee and one each in Altoona, La Crosse, River Falls and Stevens Point.

What's better than brats, burgers and baseball on a warm Wisconsin summer evening? Not much. We invite you to register now for a free picnic and free tickets to see the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers play the Quad Cities River Bandits at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium, 2400 N. Casaloma Dr., Appleton, on Thursday, Aug. 24.

Scammers are attempting to steal personal information through efforts to “help” veterans gain benefits under the federal PACT Act.

When you’re a U.S. veteran with more than 40,000 organizations trying to help you, it can be tough to find the right information. AARP’s Veterans and Military Families initiative brings together free, valuable resources and programs to help navigate life’s transitions. In 2023, AARP Wisconsin will be increasing outreach efforts around the Veterans and Military Families initiative to bring these resources to more communities throughout the state. Read on for more information on the resources AARP offers, as well as the events we have planned so far. Check back for more information on events throughout the year.
