We need your help!

As always, Project Minnesota Leon is grateful for the opportunity to
participate in the Walk for Justice. It is an annual community event
coordinated by the Headwaters Foundation for Justice for grassroots non-profits working in Minnesota, their supporters and friends. The Walk for Justice allows PML to raise awareness, solidarity and funding for the part we play in positively advocating to change our corners of the world, in Minnesota and Nicaragua.

his year PML’s goal is to raise $5,000 for our programs.  We have come close to this in recent years…so we know that it’s not out of our reach!  Please help us to meet out goal by joining our team of walkers and getting sponsorships, or by sponsoring PML walker. You can both register and donate online...it's so easy.  Click here to acces our Team Page, to join us or to make a donation online!
