Waukesha Strong
The WDBA’s hearts and prayers go out to anyone affected by the tragic events of the 2021 Christmas Parade. Wanting to be actively involved in the recovery of our tight-knit downtown and help those affected, Waukesha Strong t-shirts were ordered and sold for fundraising for the United for Waukesha Community Fund. Some are still available at Burlap and Lace or order online at the link below.
