Could your business donate a gift card, item, or experience to our Christmas auction? 🎄

We’re building our biggest auction yet, with some big names already committed—and we’d love to include your business.

Your donation supports the St. Francis Legacy Foundation’s work to help protect access to care, especially in rural Minnesota, and help seniors and adults with disabilities feel remembered, included, and loved.

The people we serve are our parents, friends, and neighbors. They deserve care close to the people and places they know, and to feel that they matter.

A restaurant gift card, getaway, product, service, or tickets your company could donate can help us raise more for that work.

Own a business, work for one, or have a connection? Message us or email [email protected]. An introduction would mean a lot—we’ll help with the details.

Online November 27–December 6. Sneak peeks are coming soon!

What business would you love to see involved?
