YOUR VALUABLE DONATION CAN HELP US REACH
​MORE KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY
​

How can kids find a simple way to boost brain power, improve health, and feel great? Spend time outside. The average American boy or girl spends as few as 30 minutes in unstructured outdoor play each day, and more than seven hours each day in front of an electronic screen.  This shift inside profoundly impacts the wellness of our nation’s kids.   Your valuable donation can help reach more kids.

Minnesota Valley Refuge Friends is a voluntary non-profit organization which receives its operational funding from its members and grants. The majority of money donated to Refuge Friends goes toward supporting the habitat restoration, environmental education, urban outreach, mentoring, arts, and other activities at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. 
​
Get involved. Please donate what you can. Just $15 will send one student to the Refuge 3 times during a school year.  A $25 donation will make you one of us, a member of Minnesota Valley Refuge Friends.
