WINGSPAN 2026
A Fundraiser Benefiting the Melinda Vaughn School Pollinator Fund
Help Us Bring Pollinator Gardens to Schools
With your support, we’ll build on our successes with expanding pollinator habitat and pollinator education at Minnesota schools. Gather with us at our 5th annual fundraising event at Keepsake Cidery in Dundas, Minnesota (near Northfield). A big thank you to Keepsake for hosting us!
Optional tickets are $20 and include a $20 donation to the Melinda Vaughn School Pollinator Fund as well as a beverage (cider and non-alcoholic beverages available). Light snacks will be served. Other food is available on-site to purchase, such as toasties (grown-up grilled cheese) and seasonal soups. Kids are welcome! Come play pollinator trivia, see great art by Minnesota artists, and get pollinator gardening inspiration!
As part of Keepsake’s Saturday Tunes on the Farm music series, Anthony Newes will be playing from 4 to 7 p.m.
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 2026-2027 school year is Jefferson Elementary School in Faribault.
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!
