Earth Month Fundraiser 2026

Earth Month is here, and so is one of our most inspiring community celebrations.

On Sunday, April 26, 2026, our community will gather at Pioneer Park for the 4th Annual Valley Eco Fair, hosted by Sustainable Stillwater MN. This free, family-friendly event brings neighbors, businesses, and local leaders together to learn, connect, and take meaningful steps toward a healthier future.

But events like this don’t simply appear on the calendar—they are made possible through community support. Earth Month is our annual spring fundraiser, when neighbors step forward to sponsor, donate, and volunteer so that sustainability education, clean transportation initiatives, and local environmental leadership can continue to thrive.

This year’s impact is amplified through EV Test Drive matching 🚗⚡

In partnership with Recharge America, the Valley Eco Fair will feature EV education and public test drives that directly support local sustainability programs.

Every sign-up matters:

• Each EV test drive registration = $50 donated to support sustainability programming

• Community participation helps unlock thousands in matching funds

Thanks to our partners:

• Bond & Devick Wealth Partners – $2,500 1:1 match supporting EV charger installation at Trinity Lutheran Church

• Green Guardian Wealth Management – $1,000 1:1 match supporting SSMN’s Valley Network Youth Program

Together, these matches mean $7,000+ in potential community impact—just from participating in a test drive.

Your support helps:

• Provide hands-on sustainability education for families

• Strengthen local environmental leadership and partnerships

• Expand clean transportation programs

• Invest in long-term community resilience

Grassroots change happens because people choose to participate. Every sponsorship. Every donation. Every volunteer hour. It all builds momentum.

🎁 Bonus: Anyone who donates to this campaign will be entered into a drawing to win a signed copy of What If We Get It Right? by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson — an inspiring collection of visionary climate solutions and hopeful pathways forward.

Whether you give $25 or become an Earth Month Sponsor, you are helping cultivate a stronger, more sustainable Stillwater.

Together, we are not just hosting an event.
We are growing a movement.
