Their support extends the celebration beyond the Gala, helping each Four Under 40 recipient make an impact through a gift to a local charity of their choice. The award structure includes $500 for each recipient's selected charity, plus an additional $500 for the Young Professional of the Year's charity.

Last year, proceeds went to Lakes Area Heroes, Lakes Area Food Shelf, Lakes Area Music Festival, and Northern Lakes Rescue.

Joining us for an evening to celebrate at the WAVE Gala, but wondering what to wear?✨🌙🌟

Cocktail attire is encouraged, but not required. If you wish, take it a step further and lean into the Among the Stars dress code theme. Think deep blues, black, silver, gold, white, metallics and a little sparkle. On theme is encouraged, but never required.

Get ready for a fun, elevated, and celebratory night at the WAVE Young Professionals Gala and Four Under 40 Awards!🥂
