Break the Barriers Gala Support

We are so excited for the MnCAN Break the Barriers Gala on September 21, 2025. The event will take place at Oak Ridge Country Club in lovely Hopkins, Minnesota.

Guests attending the Break the Barriers Gala really enjoy the opportunity to connect with each other and enjoy the company of this wonderful community. In order for our gala to be a success, there is a lot of work done behind the scenes by our Executive Directors and Board of Directors. 

If you are interested in joining as an event sponsor, volunteering your time or donating an item to our live or silent auction, we would be so grateful.

We have many volunteer opportunities before and during the event.

There are many other volunteer needs if these don’t fit your schedule or interest. We appreciate any and all help!

I would like someone from MnCAN to contact me about volunteering.
