Minneapolis, you CONTINUE to make a difference!
Joy and hope overflowed at the Marriott Minneapolis Southwest on September 11th as more than 390 guests came together for the SHINE ON Minneapolis Breakfast!
Guests enjoyed a morning with friends both old and new, recognizing the importance of our support for students at OLAG.
Singers of This Age (SOTA) an ensemble from VocalEssence kicked things off with a beautiful welcome song followed by our two keynote speakers, Rámond Mitchell and Frederica (Rica) Aboagye. The morning concluded with our 2026 scholarship video which showcased the story of 4 siblings whose lives were changed when they were given the opportunity to attend OLAG.

Rise & Shine Scholarship Video 2026
$774,821 of our $1.66M goal!
SHINE ON Minneapolis helped Rise & Shine reach 47% of our $1.66 million budget. This money will be able to support 310 OLAG students by covering their education and boarding for one year.
Thank you all for making SHINE ON Minneapolis a success. The money raised will primarily be used for OLAG scholarship and operating support and sets us well on our way to reach our goal of $1.66M.
Because of you and your enthusiasm for this event, we will be able to continue providing opportunities for students at OLAG. We look forward to welcoming you again in 2026!
