MMFF Supporters

Thank you to the Minnesota Military Family Foundation Supporters!

On Wednesday, December 14, TriWest Healthcare Alliance presented MMFF President & Chair, Bill Popp with a donation to help our military families in financial crisis. For the last few years, TriWest has selected the MMFF as the recipient for their annual donation in which they give back to the military communities through generous financial support. Thank you TriWest for your commitment to providing exceptional quality care to our military and their family members.

On Friday, November 11, approximately 185 Twin Cities-area McDonald's restaurants donated a portion of that day's sales to MMFF. McDonald's goal was to raise $111,000 on 11/11/11. Customers saw special bag stickers, and signs near the drive-thru window, as reminders to stop in on Veterans Day. Click here to read the press release.

Thank you to Sons of Norway, in recognition of their twenty-seventh annual Nordic American Thanksgiving Breakfast. This year's celebration of freedom, faith, family and friends takes place on November 22 at the DoubleTree Bloomington Hotel. The Nordic American Thanksgiving Breakfast gives patrons an opportunity to give back to the community by supporting local non-profits including the Minnesota Military Family Foundation. Get your tickets by November 16 by calling Sons of Norway, 612-821-4640.

Thank you to the Twins Wives Organization for hosting Hang with the Majors, an event to benefit the MMFF! Below is a picture of members of the Twins Wives Organization presenting MMFF Founder and Chair, Bill Popp with a check at the September 5 Twins Game.
