WINGSPAN 2025
A Fundraiser Benefiting the Melinda Vaughn School Pollinator Fund
Help Us Bring Pollinator Gardens to Schools
With your support, we’ll keep expanding pollinator habitat and pollinator education in Minnesota – one schoolyard at a time. Gather with us at our 4th annual fundraising event at Bent Paddle Brewery’s Enger & Olson Room in Duluth. A big thank you to Bent Paddle for donating the space for our event!
Optional tickets are $20 and include a $15 donation to the Melinda Vaughn School Pollinator Fund as well as a beverage (beer, non-alcoholic beer, kombucha, or soda available). Light snacks will be served. Kids are welcome! Come play pollinator trivia, see great art by Minnesota artists, and get pollinator gardening inspiration!
If you’re wanting a late lunch or early dinner, the Bowlz N’ Thangz food truck will also be at the brewery.
A virtual silent auction is part of our fundraiser and bidding will conclude at 5 p.m. the evening of the event. If you're attending the in-person event, you can scan a QR code that will take you directly to our online auction!
All proceeds from the fundraiser and silent auction will be directed to our school pollinator garden grants program. Our grant recipient for the 2025-2026 school year is Cloquet Middle and High School.
If you aren’t able to attend the event or want to offer even more support, please consider making a donation to the Melinda Vaughn Pollinator Fund.
Thank you for supporting students and pollinators!
