This spring we are thrilled to be celebrating five years since we officially launched Best Buddies in Minnesota! To celebrate this exciting milestone, we invite you to join us for a special Open House at our new office space with light refreshments, photo opportunities, giveaways, and more!<\/p>\n

Stop by anytime between 4 and 7 PM to meet and network with Best Buddies staff, volunteers, Ambassadors, donors, sponsors, and families. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our programs, volunteer opportunities, upcoming events, and ways to support our mission of inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).<\/p>\n
