KELSEY FOGEL

Co-Founder + Events Extraordinaire

Kelsey Fogel is a Milwaukee native with an extensive background in non-profit and special event coordination. Throughout her professional life, she has planned wildly successful events for up to 7,000 people, ranging from galas, walks, corporate events,
social parties, and more. With 10 years of event planning under her belt, she is an expert in her field and prides herself on hosting events that provide an unforgettable event experience for all who attend.

Hosting MKE Wellness Week has been a dream of Kelsey’s. Her passion for health and wellness started when she was diagnosed with hypertension in her early 20s.  At the time, she had very little knowledge of exercise and nutrition, but was determined to
avoid becoming part of the statistic that one in five women die from heart disease. She began soaking in every bit of health information she could get her hands on, and through some trial and error, running a half marathon, and changing her diet, she was able to lose 25lbs and control her blood pressure. Most importantly, the journey
sparked and invigorated a passion for health and fitness.

Kelsey’s goal for MKE Wellness Week is to help others live their best life, physically and mentally. Hosting a ‘Wellness Week’ in Milwaukee -- a city traditionally known for beer, cheese, and brats -- provides a needed avenue for people who are craving more
events that are centered around fitness, nutrition, and self-care. 

Kelsey is eager to use her background knowledge in event planning and wellness to provide Milwaukeeans with a remarkable week catered to both fitness gurus and wellness and those new to the health and wellness space. She promises a week you won’t want to miss, and one you definitely won't forget.
