Put on your coolest sneakers and come meet some of your favorite Krsm hosts, enjoy live music, good food and vibes from local vendors inside the home of KRSM Radio. There will be a place to take a special shoe portrait to commemorate the event. We will have prizes for "the coolest kicks" throughout the day.

Some things in life you just can't plan for.
🤒 A serious illness
🤕 An injury
🏥 a surgery

When that happens, the last thing you should have to worry about is your paycheck.

Minnesota Paid Leave is here for moments like these. If you're a Minnesota worker dealing with a serious health condition, including mental health conditions, pregnancy complications, or recovery from surgery, you may qualify for up to 12 weeks of paid time off to focus on getting better.

Paid Leave covers a portion of your wages while you're away, and your job is protected while you're gone.

Because healing takes time. And you deserve that time.

📣 Introducing: The Advancement & Engagement Team! 📣

Help us wish a warm "Welcome" to this rockstar team of development professionals!

This team gathered for the first time at the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Fundraising Conference and has grown a ton in recent months, so we figured: What better time to introduce the people who are working behind the scenes to advance the PUC mission!

Heather Allen, our Grants Manager, keeps our funding pipeline organized and on track, so no opportunity slips through the cracks.

Micah Eubanks, our Annual Fund and Donor Engagement Manager, keeps our donor relationships strong and thriving, turning one-time gifts into lifelong partnerships.

Will Heller, our Marketing & Communications Manager, makes sure our story reaches the right people at the right time (and makes it look good doing it!)

Sara Thompson, our Grant Writer, turns our impact into compelling proposals that open doors... and hearts, and checkbooks.

Last but certainly not least, Antonio Cardona, our Head of Advancement & Engagement, leads this talented team with vision and heart, keeping us all aligned toward one goal: building a stronger organization for the communities we serve.

Excited for what this team will accomplish together!
