We have many people to thank for making LUNAFEST a grand success! Not only were the nine short films by, for, about women wildly entertaining, they were powerful, thought provoking, and peacebuilding. As a nonprofit organization committed to equity, these films are an important part of achieving our vision of making Minnesota the peacebuilding power state for all. The over $22,000 raised from LUNAFEST: Minneapolis supports our programs and provides scholarship assistance that makes our trainings accessible to all by offsetting the cost of tuition.
Thank you to Patty Wetterling for being our Honorary LUNAFEST Chairwoman, and for being a champion for peacebuilding. Most Minnesotans know Patty from the nightly news because of her tireless work to speak boldly about ending child abduction and exploitation. Patty and her family have been a major force toward building peace in Minnesota and across America when terrible things happen. Patty, thank you for your deep encouragement and bold peacebuilding leadership that has taught all of us how to tenaciously pursue light in the darkness, heal in the face of pain, and engage the power of peacebuilding in our communities.
Thank you also to Sunrise Banks for being our lead sponsor this year, and in particular to President Nichol Beckstrand for sharing about the bank’s compassion-driven mission to do good in the community. If you’re looking for a bank who is committed to peacebuilding, Sunrise Banks is it!
And thank you to all of our LUNAFEST attendees for making this year’s event our most successful yet. We’re honored by your support. Please save Wednesday April 24, 2019 for next year’s LUNAFEST: Minneapolis. When we come together for fun, connection, and inspiration, we feel better, we are better, and we build a stronger community – this is Peacebuilding power.
