The 2024 MN Girl Up Gala, the first ever MN Girl Up Gala, was a huge success. With almost 200 guests, the gala was filled with joy, music, and fun! Through the silent auction, ticket sales and merch sales, and donations, we raised almost $15,000 for three different charities, St. Anne's Place, the Ann Bancroft foundation, and Girl up. Along with this, the gala connected girl up members across the twin cities and started life long friendships. The five co-chairs, Lauren Carlson, Liv Pearson, Sienna Dhariwal, Michelle - Dallow Elliott, and Harper Stevenson-Shimek, could not be more grateful for the outcome of this gala. We committed almost a year and hundred of hours to planning this gala. We would like to thank each and every person who helped to make this possible and are so excited to see what the future holds for the upcoming MN Girl Up Galas!

          Signing off with love,

               Lauren, Liv, Sienna, Michelle, & Harper
