Thanks to our 9 sponsors, 115 participants and 383 donors who made this event a huge success! We raised over $42,046 ($24,196 in donations, $17,980 in a matching grant), and the donations continue to come in. We could not have done it without you all!
If you missed the show, but would still like to support our tenant advocacy work, it is not too late! The F.R. Bigelow Foundation will continue to match all new and increased donations up to $20,000. You can make your contribution here. We’re noticing that similar to last year, donations continue to roll in after the event. Thanks!
We’re also excited that our event was covered in the Star Tribune on 6/16/11 as a fun and unique non-profit fundraiser. We couldn’t agree more. Read more about it here: Ratcheting up the ‘fun’ in fundraisers —Jean Hopfensperger, Star Tribune, 6/16/11
