Safe Passage’s Legislative Breakfast and Fundraiser is October 13 at the Minneapolis Club — and seats are filling up. Buy your tickets today, bring your colleagues and friends, and help us pack the room for a morning that matters.
We’ll hear from Board Chair Dr. Lisa Hollensteiner on the changes we’ve helped drive and the legislative initiatives we’re pushing for next session, plus a personal story from foster parent Rachel Benzine on what those changes mean in real families’ lives.
We’ll also be honoring this year’s Child Safety MVP Award winners, Melissa DeBilzan and Karen Nestingen, for their years of dedication to protecting children and helping survivors.
We’re also looking forward to introducing our new Executive Director, Crystal McNally, who will share a bit about where she sees the organization heading and a few new initiatives on the horizon for 2027.
New this year: stay after the program for a meet and greet, where you can learn more about our initiatives, our research, and the Minnesota Coalition for Child Safety.
Sponsorships are still available — reach out if you’d like your organization represented at this event. A huge thank you to our sponsors so far: the Minneapolis Club, Storms Dworak, the Cove Capital Group, and Sunrise Banks.
Every seat at this breakfast is a seat filled with someone who cares about protecting Minnesota’s kids. Don’t wait — register now, and spread the word.
