The Minnesota affiliate will again match individual contributions made by
Minnesota Federationists to our national White Cane, Jernigan, SUN, and
tenBroek Funds between May 1 and June 30 up to a total of $6,000, in
accordance with the vote at our 2021 state convention. Said differently:
up to $6,000 from individuals is matched by up to $6,000 from the
affiliate treasury!<br><br>
 <br><br>
In addition, there is overlap with the recently announced
<a href="https://nfb.org/get-involved/national-convention/give-25">Dream
Big: Give $25 Drive</a>. That means that if your donation is made
starting May 16, you will be entered into a drawing for expenses to the
2025 national convention, $2,000 cash, or a monarch braille display.
<br><br>
 <br><br>
Between May 1 through June 30, your contributions to our national funds
will be matched by the Minnesota affiliate as long as you either mail a
check to the affiliate or forward us a copy of your receipt to Jennifer
Dunnam at
<a href="mailto:jennifer.dunnam1829@gmail.com">

 <br><br>
Thank you in advance; your contributions make the important work we do at
all levels possible!<br><br>

Here is a little more about the four funds:<br><br>

directly to the general treasury of the Federation.<br><br>
•Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Kenneth Jernigan Fund: The proceeds from
this fund are used to bring a number of attendees to their first national
convention. It is named in honor of our former president and longtime
leader to promote attendance at the national convention, where so much
inspiration and learning occur.<br><br>
•Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â SUN Fund: These funds are being set
aside in the event that they are needed to support the Federation during
difficult times.<br><br>
•Â ÂÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â tenBroek Fund: These dollars go to the
tenBroek Memorial Fund which owns the property at 200 East Wells at
Jernigan Place in Baltimore for the benefit of blind people.<br><br>
