Alliance Française will host our 11th annual fundraiser online! As part of our effort to keep our community safe, our gala benefit will not be taking place in-person. Our biggest fundraising event of the year, this is the most impactful time to show your generous support through donations and online auctions.
Register today on the GiveSmart website to bid and to receive more information about new additions to the auction and other important information. Click here OR text AFMSP20 to 76278.
You can bid on your smart phone, tablet or computer. Peruse the items, set maximum bids, and receive notifications when you’re no longer in the lead. The auctions will open at noon on May 1 and close at 7 pm on May 13.
Join in the fun, bidding on our most exclusive auction experiences online with auctioneer Kurt Johnson. We’ll kick off the evening with our Fund-A-Need, followed by our live auction and raffle drawing.
Though we can’t enjoy an in-person dinner as a large group, we will share in a meal, apart! Nos chères amies Valérie Faure (Valérie’s French Kitchen) and Claire Corvaisier (Oh Crêpe!) are offering a special three-course menu available for pick-up on May 13. Experience a taste of Southern France from your home with our Provence-inspired menu! Advanced reservation required.
Order deadline extended; place yours before 5 pm on Thursday, May 6 !
Interested in authentic French bread to accompany your meal? D’Argent Bakery will accept limited special orders for May 13. Order in advance with Anne.
Thank you to all for your support, especially during these unprecedented times. Your bids and donations directly support the educational and cultural programs of Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul.
It is our greatest hope that we can gather as a community sometime in the future to celebrate the success of our virtual gala. Our committee of volunteers worked incredibly hard to organize a special evening at the Minikahda Club. Stay tuned for the opportunity to enjoy another elegant Provençal dinner, prepared by Chef Vincent Francoual with wine pairings by Beverage Director Nicolas Giraud.
Merci à notre comité du gala! Jen Cook, Simin Hickman, Margaret Hughes, Pam Pappas Stanoch, Maggie Perry, Anna Scallon, Christina Selander Bouzouina, Annie Thompson, Schelly Vaaler, et Karen Zentner Bacig
