Host a Party with a Purpose

Create a lasting bond with Pillsbury United Communities and give your friends and family the same opportunity by hosting a Party with a Purpose for Pillsbury United Communities.

How many times do you have a birthday party, cocktail party, housewarming, etc. and receive gifts you'll just never use. Give your guests a purpose for your next party and ask that in lieu of gifts, they consider a contribution to PUC. Then, at your party, a PUC staff or Board member will give a five minute overview of our services and mission. Guests will have the opportunity to support us with an investment, but without pressure or sales tactics.

You tell us the date and we'll help you in any way we can:

• Designing invitations
• Making follow-up calls to guests
• Providing logistics support.

Our Development & Marketing Staff can support an event of any size. Join us by investing in Pillsbury United Communities today with a Party with a Purpose.

It's PGA week!

Pillsbury United Communities has been selected as one of the nonprofit partners for the PGA National Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Course. Over the past few months, the PGA has worked tirelessly to put together a phenomenal tournament that is as much philanthropic as it is competetive. Provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in tickets to local nonprofits, the PGA sets itself apart by giving without taking.

On Monday, some of Pillsbury United Communities' summer youth participants journeyed to Chaska to golf with the pros. Taught by some of the PGA's best golfers, the kids learned the basics of golf and got to meet some of the greats. The enthusiasm and smiles on the faces of the youth participants said it all.

Thanks, PGA, for making it possible!
