Make a Difference Day - Sat. March 7th, 2026

The Arc Minnesota is hosting its annual Arc Gala Saturday, March 7th, 2026 at The Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot (225 3rd Ave South, Minneapolis, MN 55401). 

Volunteers are needed 4:00pm - 10:30pm to assist with tasks such as coat check, administration of games, live auction spotting and others. Funding from the 2026 Arc Gala will highlight the value and need of accessible sports and recreation equipment, a vital and often overlooked area of inclusion. 

Recreation is not a luxury; it’s an integral part of a full and healthy life. It’s where friendships are formed, confidence is built, and communities come together. Yet for many individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), access to sports and leisure activities is limited by the lack of access to adaptive equipment.

By volunteering for this Gala and The Arc Minnesota, you’re supporting justice for all. Your participation will continue the vision of an inclusive society, where everyone has the opportunity to create the life they choose! That is why we need your help.
