And the 2025 Shark Tank Winners are…

The Shorewood Foundation awarded grants to two organizations that pitched ideas before a full house at the 2025 Shark Tank event in February.

The Shorewood Waters Project was awarded $3,950 for its “Catch the Wave” campaign aimed at reducing the use of single-use plastic across the village. And the Gentlemen of Shorewood received $3,000 for its “1900 Golf” event showcasing Shorewood’s history as the former home of the Milwaukee Country Club.

The Shorewood Waters Project is a program of the village’s Department of Public Works, launched in 2011 to promote stormwater and freshwater education. For “Catch the Wave,” it has been working with the Shorewood Conservation Committee, Plastic-Free Milwaukee and other groups on a year-long campaign to educate residents about the environmental and health dangers of single-use plastic through workshops, films, and booths at local events.

The Gentlemen of Shorewood’s “1900 Golf” was a fun, family-friendly event featuring a 9-hole bucket-golf course along Menlo Boulevard and walking tours of what had been the Milwaukee Country Club grounds.
