Hello John,

I’m getting in touch today to extend a special invitation to join me and the Fresh Energy team for our 8th Annual Benefit Breakfast—Delivering on the Promise: Celebrating the moment with an eye to the future—on October 12 at the Saint Paul RiverCentre. 

Can we count on you to join us for an engaging conversation about why the stakes have never been higher when it comes to making our clean energy future a reality?

Back by popular demand, we’re excited to welcome climate tech entrepreneur Ramez Naam for a high-energy discussion about the crucial role Fresh Energy is playing in shaping a brighter future.

This past year has been monumental—we’ve championed the most significant climate legislation of a generation, and the doors are wide open to forge an equitable, clean path for Minnesota and the Midwest. 

As an extra treat, we’re also excited to share that Leader Stacey Abrams (yes, THE Stacey Abrams) with Rewiring America will be sharing a special video message for Benefit Breakfast guests. 

Hurry! Register today to make sure you’ve got a seat (and a plate!) for this dynamic event. Registration is required by September 28. Can’t attend in person? Please be sure to register for the virtual event. 

This event is open to everyone. Feel free to spread the word and forward this invitation to family, friends, or colleagues and invite them to join you. Let’s create a ripple effect of positive change together! 

I’m looking forward to sharing this transformative morning with you. 

Thank you for your support, 

Dr. Brenda Cassellius,
Executive Director
