Bash Outreach Fundraising Events

Bash Outreach Fundraising Events

ONE MISSION. MANY WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

St. Stephen’s is a community committed to sharing God’s love with our neighbors throughout the Twin Cities and beyond. Rooted in our faith and Christ’s call to love and serve others, we put that commitment into action through hands-on service and financial support for nonprofit and ministry partners responding to hunger, housing instability, education, family support, and other critical needs.

Each year, our Outreach Committee awards grants to organizations doing meaningful work in our community and beyond. Funding for these grants comes from several sources, including generous gifts from our Bridge Builders, as well as proceeds from our Bash Outreach Fundraising Events.

100% of every dollar raised through Bash events goes to Outreach. 

BASH EVENTS

What began more than 40 years ago with the Johnny Appleseed Bash in the park, has grown and evolved over the years. Today, our Bash events include a variety of ways to gather, participate, and give—all supporting the same mission.

Some bring us together for an evening of food and celebration. Others invite us to bid, shop, order something beautiful for the season, or enjoy an afternoon of family fun. Together, these events offer something for just about everyone—and every ticket, bid, purchase, and donation helps provide critical funding for our Outreach partners.


We are now accepting donations for our Bash Online Auction and Bash After Dark events! Visit our Bash Donation page for donation forms and LOTS of ideas for ways you can contribute and help make this Bash season a success.
