Oak Park Youth Shoots the Breeze with the Lynx

One of the common misconceptions about nonprofit organizations is that the only way to donate or effect change in an organization is to give money. While we'll always welcome monetary donations, sometimes the most effective gifts are those giving our participants experiences they'll never forget.

Minnesota Women Lawyers, along with Former Senator Mark Dayton recently donated tickets to Pillsbury United Communities for Wednesday's Minnesota Lynx game and the Minnesota Women Lawyers "Back to School" event. Staff member Lisa Dunlap took some of Oak Park Youth Prgoram's amazing young women to the game.

The Minnesota Lynx, Minnesota Women Lawyers and Pillsbury United Communities are unified and committed to the empowerment and education of girls. Together, an amazing opportunity was provided to girls from Oak Park to experience a WNBA game and spend time with some exciting women from MWL and the WNBA.

Pillsbury United Communities thanks Minnesota Women Lawyers, Mark Dayton and the WNBA for giving our girls an experience they won't soon forget!
