Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cites Great Futures Fair
Last week, members of the CG team had the privilege of volunteering at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities Great Futures Fair—a meaningful event focused on connecting teens with potential career paths, post-secondary opportunities, and local industry leaders.
It was a fantastic day of service and connection. We had the opportunity to serve Buffalo Wild Wings (a crowd favorite!) and engage with an inspiring group of young people from across the Twin Cities. Their curiosity, ambition, and energy were truly uplifting.
Thank you to everyone who participated and represented CG with such enthusiasm and heart. It’s always rewarding to give back to the community, and this event was a great reminder of the impact we can make—together.
INDY Foundation Bowties and Arrows Gala
Our team had the honor of attending the INDY Foundation’s Bowties and Arrows Gala 2025—and it was truly a night to remember!
The INDY Foundation is dedicated to supporting Minnesota cancer warriors and their families through financial assistance, emotional support, and community connection. It was incredibly moving to see so many people come together in support of such a meaningful cause. We're proud to stand with them in raising both funds and awareness for those battling cancer right here in our home state.
If you know someone in Minnesota who is currently navigating a cancer diagnosis and could use support, please encourage them to apply for assistance through the INDY Foundation. You can learn more and find the application here.
Thank you to everyone who represented our team at the event—it’s inspiring to see the impact we can have when we show up for our community.

Funds donated by the Eden Prairie Office - In 1993, the executive director of Hospitality House Youth Development (HHYD) created Christmas With Dignity. This unique shopping experience is for parent/guardian who is economically disadvantaged who find themselves unable to afford to buy Christmas presents for their children. The parent or guardian will have the pleasure of shopping and giving their children new gifts at prices they can afford. This allows the children to see their parent/guardian as a provider, and at the same time, the family is strengthened.
