The Division of Indian Work (DIW) celebrates 70 years of proudly serving our Twin Cities American Indian community as an American Indian-led organization with its annual LEAP! fundraiser. LEAP! Into Action returns for its 7th year as an in-person event, taking place on Mon, Sept 26 at the Metropolitan Event Center in Golden Valley.

DIW Director Louise Matson invites St. Lukers to join her and others for this wonderful fundraising event featuring great good, Native American entertainers, and an auction of local goods. If people want to donate items to the silent auction they still have time.

Tickets are $70 and may be purchased online at www.diw-mn.org/leap or through Lori Cocking, please connect with her at loricockinghr@gmail.com or via phone 612.670.3030. (If you purchase online, please let Lori know so she can assure St. Luke folks get tables together). Ticket prices are elevated this year due to increased costs – if you need assistance with the cost of a ticket, simply let Lori and Brennan know. While this is a fundraising effort, it’s also a relation celebration for us and we’d like to support folks attending.
