M&B Cares − A Year in Review (2023)
Our team at Moss & Barnett found ways to give back to our communities and engage in acts of service through our M&B Cares initiative. Here are the service projects we participated in 2023:
2023 Komen Minnesota Race for the Cure
M&B Cares sent a team of volunteers to the 2023 Komen Minnesota Race for the Cure which took place on May 14, 2023. The Race for the Cure is Komen’s signature fundraising event. Our volunteers handed out Komen wraps to all participants to be used as interactive pieces in the Opening Ceremony. They roamed throughout the event site and made sure everyone had a wrap, which was very much appreciated on an especially cold and rainy race morning.
Thank you to our M&B Cares Volunteers: Audrey, Rose, and Lynn Holmen; Sara Buntin; Lori and Dan O’Donnell; Michael O’Donnell; Shelly Doerr; Sue Rivers; Phil and Peggy Rush; Maureen Montpetit; Monica Lash; Lori and Krista Turgeon; and Bridget and Darringer Funches
2023 Urban League Twin Cities Annual Family Day Homecoming
Volunteers from the firm helped the Urban League Twin Cities put on their 33rd Annual Family Day Homecoming on August 26, 2023. This event strives to provide a stress-free day of fun for families and is meant to empower families as they learn of the resources and services that are available to them. Our team ran the Kid’s Zone which included fi eld games, face painting, and a bouncy slide. In addition, M&B Cares provided a cash donation to the Urban League for the event.

2023 Shoes for Hennepin Healthcare Psychiatric Care Patients
M&B Cares learned that Hennepin Healthcare had no shoes to provide to adult inpatient psychiatric care patients as they are discharged, so the M&B Cares team ran a shoe drive for the month of November 2023. We wanted to make sure our neighbors had access to shoes and socks during their time of need.

2023 Hope Academy Christmas Book Giveaway
M&B Cares purchased and gift wrapped 52 copies of The Chronicles of Narnia box set for the 7th grade students at Hope Academy. Hope Academy is a private inner-city school serving over 700 K-12 students in the Minneapolis area.
