Description

We invite you to our 40th anniversary celebration on Tuesday, July 18, when we'll honor our volunteers! If you have ever volunteered with Bellis, please come! Our entire Bellis community is welcome to all anniversary events. (Donor Celebration on August 3, 4 - 7 p.m.)

A brief program begins at 5:30 p.m. that will recognize our 2023 Volunteers of the Year: father and daughter, John Overson and Kristine Moser! Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, we'll have an ice cream sundae bar and special door prizes.

While you're here, please enjoy the art submitted to our inaugural art show, A Home for My Story, and view the plaque to commemorate our founding mothers that we unveiled in May.

Pay it Forward Campaign: $40K for 40 Years

In honor of all we celebrate this year, we have a special fundraising campaign: Pay it Forward to Celebrate 40 Years. You can make a donation online today, or at our event where we will have "pay it forward" flyers for you to choose from to donate a specific amount. Even if you can't attend the events, your donations to our work make a difference. Please invest in Bellis.

Your generosity enables our nonprofit to offer effective programming, including retreats for birth mothers of all experiences (now in our 10th year), weekly peer-support groups exclusively for mothers whose parental rights were terminated by the courts, and a monthly gathering for adults of all experiences of adoption and foster care.

To help us plan, please RSVP here to join Bellis staff and board members for this special event that celebrates the past and future work of Bellis!

The event take place at Bellis in the Uptown Office Park building at 3249 Hennepin Ave., Suite 103, Minneapolis. Street parking is available on neighboring streets, and a Metro bus stop is just outside the building at Hennepin Ave. and 33rd St.

Our deep gratitude goes out to our 40th anniversary celebration sponsors and supporters who make this possible!
