Community Partner of the Year: Mike Bauer and Bauer Design Build
At Gilda’s Club Minnesota, we know that ensuring no one faces cancer alone takes a community. It takes people and organizations who show up year after year, bringing people together and making a meaningful difference for individuals and families impacted by cancer.
That’s why we’re proud to recognize Mike Bauer and Bauer Design Build as the recipients of Gilda’s Club Minnesota’s inaugural Community Partner of the Year Award! Awarded at our annual gala, this award recognizes an outstanding commitment to supporting Minnesotans impacted by cancer.
Seven Years of Giving Back
For seven years, Bauer Design Build has hosted an annual clay shooting event benefiting Gilda’s Club Minnesota, raising thousands of dollars each year to support our mission. Through this ongoing commitment, Mike Bauer and his team have helped bring people together for a shared purpose: ensuring that no one has to face cancer alone.
Year after year, this event demonstrates the power of community coming together to make a difference. Beyond the funds raised, it reflects a lasting commitment to supporting individuals and families navigating the challenges of cancer and helping ensure they have access to social and emotional support.
The Impact of Community Partnership
Gilda’s Club Minnesota provides free social and emotional support to people impacted by cancer through support groups, educational programs, healthy lifestyle activities, and opportunities for connection. These programs create a welcoming community where individuals and families can share experiences, build relationships, and find support throughout their cancer journeys.
Support from organizations such as Bauer Design Build help make this work possible. The funds raised through the annual clay shooting event help sustain Gilda’s Club’s programs and strengthen our ability to serve people across Minnesota.
By continuing to bring people together in support of our mission, Mike Bauer and Bauer Design Build demonstrate what it means to be a dedicated community partner.
