Since 2009, the Brighter Days Foundation has led the effort to help brighten the day of seriously-ill children and their families in the Brainerd Lakes Area.
Our Mission
The Brighter Days Foundation’s mission is to help seriously and chronically-ill children, ages 0-18, and their families living within the Brainerd Lakes Area of Minnesota by surprising them with meaningful gifts and/or opportunities to brighten their day.
The Foundation is set up to help bring the community together that the child resides in through fundraising events, college scholarships and gift presentations by local volunteers.
“When you wake up every morning and hug your child, tell them that you admire them for fighting this battle. Tell them of their strength and of their courage. Tell them that they inspire you to be a better person. Tell them that you love them.”
