Each year, we explore the global role of a country. This yearlong focus includes special programs and events and culminates with our annual summer gala.

A unique exploration of culture, the gala is our premier fundraising event that draws an exclusive and well-traveled audience of more than 300 guests, including high-profile Minnesota community and business leaders.
