2026 Campaign Kick-Off Event

Tuesday, Sept. 30, 11 a.m. via Teams

Every year, state employees across Minnesota come together to support causes they care about, and it all starts with the annual kickoff event. Join us for a live virtual kickoff event hosted by the Combined Charitie board. Whether you’re new to Combined Charities or have participated before, the kickoff is a great way to get inspired and learn about the impact you can have in your local community.

Event Highlights

  • Tony Sanneh, former professional soccer player and executive director of the Sanneh Foundation, will share his powerful story. The nonprofit empowers youth through educational support, food support and physical and social development programs.
  • A special video message from Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan.
  • Remarks from Lindsay Kerwin, board chair of Combined Charities.
