Mission: Possible

05/08/2026

For the upcoming All Services Military & Veterans Formal Ball in September, we just created an excellent Sponsorship tiered system.

To ensure we offer maximum opportunities for all to attend, including those who perhaps need a hand up for one reason or another, raising funds will be key to ensure ALL who wish to attend can do so! There are only 180 tickets (due to space limitations) and we're hoping to offer an exceptional event at the lowest cost available to all.

Additionally, some of the sponsorship tiers offer free booth spaces at Mission: Possible Symposium on September 11, 2027, in Oshkosh, WI. It's a win for all!

SAVE THE DATE for 2027 - it was just locked in!

Please visit our M:P website at www.Mission-Possible.us and select the M:P 2027 for more information AND if you would like to request a booth - they'll go fast!

The steering committee hopes to make this even larger than the M:P Symposium in 2024 - with great spaces at the Winnebago Fair Grounds' Sunnyview Pavilion and probable adjacent barn(s) - for those outdoor focused events!

We're excited to announce our NEW website - just launched this past week. On it, you'll find the details about the upcoming All Services Military & Veterans Formal Ball, learn about the NEW 501c3 funding arm of M:P and other outreach events - VASE - and learn about the 2027 M:P Symposium scheduled for the weekend of September 18, 2027, at the Oshkosh Fair Ground (TBD).

SAVE THE DATE - September 19, 2026!

We have a GREAT team working on the next event for Mission: Possible. After much discussion, the steering committee is moving forward with something unique to our area - an All Services Military & Veteran Formal Ball for 2026. Then, in 2027, we'll host the next Mission: Possible Symposium at the Winnebago County Fair Grounds' Sunnyview Pavilion and adjacent barn(s).

A local team is finalizing a new nonprofit, Veterans Alliance for Support & Empowerment (VASE), the funding organization for great outreach opportunities like Mission: Possible, VETx, and other Veteran professional development & entrepreneurial opportunities.

VASE - funding support for Mission: Possible 2026 & beyond!

A small group of like-minded Veterans met today to launch VASE - Veterans Alliance for Support & Empowerment - a 501c3 which will be the funding piece of Mission: Possible and other outreach events. The original funding was through ARPA (COVID) funding as part of a WDVA Supplemental Grant. Then, Calumet, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties pooled a large portion of their grants to fund Mission: Possible 2024. Since that funding no longer exists and many still want to participate in Mission: Possible due to its unique approach, several came together for this initiative.

The idea behind "VASE" is that we're all broken in some form or fashion - some more than others. However, with the right tools, support, connections, and "glue," we can become whole again, often stronger and more beautiful than the original vase. That's the idea behind the Japanese art of Kintsugi: the centuries-old art of repairing broken pottery with gold and from where we draw inspiration.

Continue to keep an eye on this page. We hope to re-launch the website soon, too. We will share a donation link as well for those who believe in Mission: Possible - every dollar counts & will be meticulously tracked like our last event!

There will be a LOT of volunteer opportunities coming up to plan a MAJOR event again, and if you would like to consider joining the VASE Board of Directors, there may be an opportunity for you to serve there, too! Thanks for keeping an eye peeled here for the next incredible event!

Mission: Possible postponed to September 2026. We apologize this was not updated in this particular event; didn’t realize it was still showing.

As a reminder, we MOVED the date to the Fall of 2026. The committee decided the Fall would be best - especially with so many Spring activities (e.g. graduations, Memorial Day, etc.). PLUS, the committee decided every two years would give us a great opportunity to grow the event! So, keep your eyes posted here for updates as we receive them!
