Your generosity at Celebrate Planned Parenthood funds essential sexual and reproductive health care, medically accurate and inclusive sex education, and fierce advocacy in Minnesota.
Celebrate Planned Parenthood
Last fall, we celebrated many wins for reproductive rights in Minnesota. This year, Planned Parenthood North Central States is making significant strides toward health equity, thanks to your support.
Together, we are breaking down barriers and empowering Minnesotans, bringing joy and a brighter future. Your contributions enable us to provide life-changing healthcare, culturally relevant sex education, innovative research, and legislative impact, helping over 60,000 patients last year in Minnesota.
