BLM SIGNS PROCEEDS FOR DU NORD FOUNDATION
We’re honored to be partnering with the Du Nord Foundation, founded to address racial inequities in the Twin Cities by providing stability through disaster, supporting business ownership and economic prosperity, and investing in rebuilding the community through business development. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from the sales of our Black Lives Matters signs go directly to the Du Nord Foundation. We began selling BLM signs in August and have raised over $6,000 so far.
