Our organization works to improve the life participation of individuals impacted by aphasia through comprehensive programs, education, peer connections and community support. This annual fundraiser is critical to MnCAN's programs.
We are seeking volunteers to help with a variety of tasks for our annual Break-the-Barriers fundraising event! We need help with silent auction procurement, putting baskets together, and volunteers who want to be ambassadors - contacting donors to encourage them to attend, and share emails and posts. This can all be done virtually!
At the actual event is on Sept 24 in Hopkins MN - we need volunteers to help with registration and to help oversee the online silent auction.
We could also use a volunteer to help with online registration and online bidding, as well as live streaming with the professionals and volunteers responsible for each area.
Any experience with past fundraisers is most welcome but not required. Contact Executive Director, Kayley Mundis at kayley@mncan.org. This is a fun and well-organized team!

Mission Statement
Minnesota Connect Aphasia Now (MnCAN) is a non-profit dedicated to helping people with aphasia improve their quality of life and live fully and independently within their communities. The organization pursues three main activities focused directly on people with aphasia: provide conversation groups, function as a resource and develop community support. Aphasia affects a person's ability to communicate after a stroke, brain injury or other neurological condition. It can lead to social isolation and depression.
