Each year, the Twin Cities Bond Club raises funds for charity as part of our activities. Thanks to our members and our generous corporate sponsors, we have been able to work with many fantastic Twin Cities non-profit organizations throughout the years.
OUR CHARITIES
A small, but determined group of parents, physicians, friends, and McDonald’s owner operators formed the Twin Cities’ branch in 1979. RMH serves over 5,000 families at their 4 Twin Cities’ locations, 80% of the families from the Upper Midwest. “We, in partnership with our community, provide a comfortable and caring home-away-from-home that supports keeping families together and reduces stress during a child’s serious illness.”
Fueled by a dedicated group of scientists, caregivers, donors, volunteers, and people with CF and their families, the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.
Best Prep is a statewide organization that serves 55,000 Minnesota students annually and mobilizes more than 5,000 volunteers from the business community. Best Prep has reached more than 1.6 million students through their seven innovative programs that focus on business skills, financial literacy, and career exploration. As they look to the future, their vision is to ensure all Minnesota students are college prepared, work ready, and career bound.
Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare is different from other children’s hospitals for one simple reason: our focus. Gillette is a nationally and internationally recognized leader in the diagnosis and treatment of children, teens and adults who have disabilities and complex medical conditions. Gillette provides specialized health care for people who have short-term or long-term disabilities that began during childhood.
No child should go hungry in America, but 1 in 6 kids will face hunger this year. In Minnesota, more than 177,000 kids live in food-insecure households and only 16% of eligible kids currently receive summer meals. Our collaboration will focus on 14 counties in the greater Minneapolis – St. Paul area. No Kid Hungry will provide grants and technical assistance to help high-need schools adopt breakfast and after school meal models.
West Metro Miracle League provides opportunities for children with cognitive and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play organized sports. On September 18th a group from the Twin City Bond Club attended a game at the West Metro Miracle League for Baseball. With all of your generous support the Twin City Bond Club was able to donate $15000.00 to the good works of the West Metro Miracle League!
