Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Association

Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Association Non-profit organization responsible for organizing The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day parade and raising money for the American Diabetes Association.

The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Association traces its founding back to Sean and Judith Clerkin's desire to put their Irish pride to use and give back to the community. Established in 1969, the MSPDA organization raises money by selling commemorative buttons, beads, shamrocks, and the hosting the Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day parade, with all the proceeds going toward the American Diabetes Association. This is a 100% volunteer-led organization with no salaried members.
