A Heartfelt Thank‑You to Our 2026 Mother’s Day Giveaway Sponsors

Our Mother’s Day Giveaway would not be possible without the generosity of our amazing local Minnesota sponsors, including our Grand Prize Sponsor Cabin O’Pines Resort.

Each year, these businesses step forward to celebrate, uplift, and honor the incredible moms in our community — and we are so grateful for their partnership.

These sponsors didn’t just donate prizes. They invested in joy. They invested in moms. They invested in community.

Because of their support, we were able to surprise deserving moms with meaningful gifts, unforgettable experiences, and a moment to feel truly seen and appreciated.

To every business who partnered with us this year: Thank you for believing in the power of community and for helping us celebrate Minnesota moms in such a special way. Your kindness and generosity make a real difference.

If you’re reading this, we encourage you to support these incredible local businesses — they’re the heartbeat behind this celebration and champions for families across the Twin Cities.
