The gala
The 25th Anniversary "Soccer Ball" Fundraiser Gala took place at the Milwaukee Sheraton Brookfield. Awen presented the evening, WSC hosted it, and Visit Brookfield was a partner. It was a formal event, with a wine tasting experience and a live performance by Night Fever, a Milwaukee Bee Gees tribute band.
The club
WSC is an all-ages women's soccer nonprofit. Its 2026 season has more than 680 players on 60 teams, with more than 900 games scheduled. The club has more than 11,000 games on record since 2010, and its adult divisions range from Open to Over 50.

The platform behind the league
Before it worked with Awen, WSC ran on spreadsheets and group texts. We built a custom WordPress platform and member portal for the league, and we maintain it. We also manage the hosting, domain and mail infrastructure. The platform covers:
- Online member registration
- Roster and team management
- Season scheduling and RSVPs
- Dues and treasury tracking
- Member email digests
- Participation analytics
- An audit log of every roster and treasury change
Five custom plugins replaced the spreadsheets. The system holds records for more than 2,700 players and more than 36,000 player fees paid online since 2010. It is built on WordPress with Gravity Forms, Stripe and WooCommerce.
You listened to our vision, personalized the site to fit the interactive needs of our club, and created a user-friendly backend that makes it easy for our volunteers to update and manage.

The gala and the platform are both Awen's work for the club: one evening, and the season-long work that keeps 60 teams on the field.
