ThriveOn King June 6 Ribbon-Cutting Celebration

June 7, 2024

As the first floor of ThriveOn King nears completion, partners gather to celebrate the milestone occupancy of the iconic building’s upper floors that serve as offices for the Greater Milwaukee Foundation and for community engagement programs of the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Led by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and Royal Capital, the ThriveOn Collaboration invests in the health, educational, social and economic wellness of Milwaukee’s Bronzeville community and beyond. Anchoring this generational commitment is the historic ThriveOn King development, a former department store transformed into a community hub and new home to the Foundation’s headquarters, multiple MCW community engagement programs, a host of strategic nonprofit partners and soon, mixed-income residences.

At center, ThriveOn Collaboration Co-Chairs Greg Wesley, Sr. Vice President of Strategic Alliances and Business Development, Medical College of Wisconsin; Ken Robertson, Executive Vice President, COO, CFO, Greater Milwaukee Foundation (holding scissors); and Kevin Newell – President and CEO, Royal Capital, cut a ceremonial ribbon on the stage at ThriveOn King. They are flanked by Ellen Gilligan, President and CEO of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (left), and John R. Raymond, Sr., MD, President and CEO, Medical College of Wisconsin (right), and number of elected officials, community members and colleagues.

ThriveOn Collaboration hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 6 to commemorate the completion and occupancy of ThriveOn King’s administrative floors and celebrate the work of hundreds of partners and community members who are helping bring the building to life.
