What do we do?
The Wild Game Dinner and Fundraiser started in 1998 to fund Nashotah’s celebration of the Wisconsin sesquicentennial. Local hunters donated pheasants, rabbit, elk, moose, venison and a “Wild Game” dinner was created from the donated game. In the following years the event grew, became more successful. Today, our dinner attendees share two things in common, first a love of wild game and secondly, the opportunity to participate in an event that benefits Nashotah and the Lake Country area.
Over the years, from this event The Friends of Nashotah has returned to Lake Country organizations over $600,000.
