We Day

I had the opportunity to volunteer at an event last Tuesday at the Excel Energy Center called We Day. It was a huge event inviting school-aged children who have contributed to making a difference to celebrate their achievements in making local and global efforts to improve the world.

We Day MN 2013

We Day is an event where a student must get invited to attend, there is no way to buy a ticket, as it had to be earned. The event was made possible by two organizations "Me to We" and "Free the Children."  We Day Minnesota was a successful event with over 18,000 students involved to celebrate creating positive change in local communities. They could be agents of change from raising money for water for people in Africa, to stopping people from getting bullied at their own schools.

18,000 students from all over Minnesota

There were so many famous people that spoke or did a performance for this great event- including Martin Luther King the 3rd, Mark Dayton, The Jonas Brothers, Carly Rae Jepsen, Barbara Bush, Demi Lovato (over skype), Jack Jablonski, the Vikings, and many more!
