We’ve had an incredible November thanks to you! We’re honored and grateful. But there’s still more work to be done.

You can help us finish the year strong by doubling your gift. Now through January 15, new or increased gifts will be matched by the Frey Foundation up to $70,000. In addition, all gifts will be matched up to $20,000 by an anonymous donor.

Memorial candles are never re-used. Carla Gainey, Simpson Executive Director from 1987-1997, was adamant that new candles be purchased every year. One for every life. To this day, we follow her example.  

The previous set of candleholders didn’t have enough room to fit a candle for everyone, but as luck would have it, Matthew — an Edina Scout — chose to do something for Simpson for his Eagle project.

Give early!  Starting November 1, you can make your gift and it will be transacted in real-time. All gifts from November 1 – 18 will count toward our fundraising goal.  Click here to make your gift today.

New or increased gifts (10% or more) will be matched dollar for dollar up to $105,000.

You can donate and spread the word, and you can join our fabulous online auction!
