An Evening Celebrating the Mississippi River: Our River on Sept 26 at Nicollet Island Pavilion

Thank you to the 250+ river supporters who joined us for Our River: An Evening Celebrating the Mississippi River. Together, we raised over $165,000 while honoring the river and looking to the future by launching the Our River Campaign. 

The impact of the Our River Campaign will be transformational and enduring in Minnesota and for all the downstream communities along the 2,350-mile river. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to learn more, donate, and sign up for upcoming events here.

Thank you to our generous sponsors
