An Annual gala
The Minneapolis Metsquerade
The Minneapolis Metsquerade is a fundraiser for METAvivor, a non-profit organization that uses 100% of donations for metastatic breast cancer research. The Minneapolis Metsquerade was created in 2018 by the late Erin Remme and has raised over ONE MILLION DOLLARS in just five years. It is imperative that we continue to raise funds for METAvivor as it remains the sole organization in the United States that is dedicated to awarding 100% of every donation and all event proceeds to stage IV metastatic breast cancer research grants. Learn more about METAvivor here. SAVE THE DATE: The seventh annual gala will take place on October 5th, 2024 at Mystic Lake Casino.

Angels & Thrivers
The harsh reality of this horrific disease is that 30% percent of all people diagnosed with breast cancer will eventually develop stage IV metastatic breast cancer and die. Yet, of all the money dedicated to breast cancer research, only 2-5% is earmarked specifically for metastatic research. With METAvivor, 100% of every dollar goes to stage IV. It’s time for us to join together and change the outcome of this deadly disease.

The annual galas are a crucial portion of Metavivor’s overall fundraising efforts each year. Each year the planning team thoughtfully plans a meaningful, memorable and fun evening out; building a community of support for the thrivers to know they are not alone in their battle.
