Get Involved with the 91st Anniversary Weekend
Become a Volunteer
Want to help power the celebration? We need volunteers for pre-planning assistance before our big events and volunteers for both day of the Yacht Cruise and Gala. Roles include check-in, setup, greeting guests, and more.
Donate to the Silent Auction
You can be a contributor to our event’s success AND promote your business with a donation for our silent auction. Your donation will be displayed for the Gala’s attendees with a sign acknowledging your organization, which will also be listed in our electronic bidding system.
We welcome donations of gift cards, services, products, or experiences. Proceeds benefit Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder and event production.
You can complete our online donation form here or you can contact James Gottfried, our auction manager. James can be reached at auction@spokesman-recorder.com or (651) 214-2498.
