Gala a great success!

The Kids ‘n Kinship 40^th Anniversary Gala was a memorable evening.  Our emcee, Tim Sherno of 5 Eyewitness News, did a fantastic job of leading us through the evening in a most entertaining way. We had live music, a silent auction, a wine cork pull, and a delicious meal.  The theme was “Growing Our Community One Relationship At a Time”.  The founder Carol Frick, was presented a piece of artwork of a tree- representing the relationships in the program.  Two mentees spoke of the impact mentoring has had on their lives and a video of many other mentoring relationships was shown.   Kids ‘n Kinship would like to thank all of our sponsors, in-kind donors, and attendees who made the event a success.  To date, $15,000 has been raised to help Kids ‘n Kinship continue serving children in Dakota County.  See below for some photos.
