Gala Corporate Sponsorships

Join us on May 31 for Global Minnesota’s annual gala, an evening celebrating the world’s countries and cultures with fine international cuisine and entertainment, as well as the Tour the World live and silent auctions. This annual fundraising event supports Global Minnesota’s mission to advance international understanding and engagement in Minnesota and create a more globally engaged and welcoming state.

The theme for 2025 is In the Clouds. Join us at the top of the world as we celebrate iconic mountain ranges and peaks in Germany, Japan, Mexico, Peru, and Tanzania.
