The Froedtert Hospital Foundation is teaming with SURG Restaurant Group and Brewers' leftfielder Ryan Braun to launch a new fund created to help Milwaukee children in crisis.

Grants from The SURG Restaurant Group fund will be used for the purchase of toys, videos, games and other needs for children in emergency rooms or waiting rooms at Froedtert Hospital. The fund may also support the education of staff working with children at the hospital.

The inaugural benefit for the fund will be held on Wednesday, May 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. at 8-Twelve MVP Bar and Grill, 17800 W. Bluemound Rd., in Brookfield. Braun will make a personal appearance to offer his support and to meet attendees.
