We’d like to invite everyone to start a new family tradition of making their own memories at the Minnesota Miracle New Year’s Eve Celebration. We’re confident that this party is one of the best family New Year’s Eve events in the Twin Cities—and attendees will make an impact on the lives of pediatric cancer families in Minnesota.” This family gala event will feature a dinner and program, auctions and a variety of kids’ activities, including bingo, arts and crafts. In addition, everyone will dance to the sounds of CBO (Casablanca Orchestra)—one of the Twin Cities’ top live bands, playing everything from the Swinging ‘40s to today’s Top 40. CBO plays across the country at a variety of functions, including the Presidential Inaugural “Freedom Ball” in 2005.

These packages include overnight accommodations, dinner and dance, Miracle Brunch on New Year’s Day and gift bags. “We have everything in place for a very special evening,” says Youngblood. “Best of all, no one has to drive home after midnight.” Proceeds will help fund the Minnesota Miracle, a collaborative program between MOMF, the Hilton Minneapolis- The Miracles of Mitch Foundation was born during the 2002 holiday season when cancer patient Mitch Chepokas emptied his bank account and anonymously gave his life savings (more than $6,000) to other pediatric cancer families so they could have a happy holiday season.
