Donated By Design 
During early spring we are not heavily booked with weddings, but that doesn't stop us from being busy.  It is a great time to get out in our community to help local nonprofits with their décor and planning needs.

In late March we helped decorate the Relay for Life’s annual Taste of Life event in Mankato.  This fundraiser supports the annual American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event in July.  It is made possible by a dedicated group of volunteers lead by Pat Hoehn.  Their theme this year was a Night on Bourbon Street.  We had a great time transforming the Madison East Mall in Mankato into Bourbon Street!

We had a fun time helping MSUM with their annual MS Walk on May 1st.  This walk raises funds for the Minnesota MS Chapter.  This was our first time working with this event and are pleased to be a part of another great cause.  http://walkmnm.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Walk/MNMWalkEvents?pg=entry&fr_id=14751
