2025 Benefit Breakfast

Tuesday, September 30, 2025

$150 suggested minimum donation.*

Register to join Fresh Energy on September 30 for a dynamic conversation with three Minnesota thought leaders and changemakers who are overcoming challenges to create a new playbook for making clean energy and climate progress right here in Minnesota.

Federal rollbacks, alongside local and global setbacks, are creating uncertainty for what the future of clean energy and climate action can look like in Minnesota and the Midwest. Our expert panel will cut through the noise to translate national and global trends into real, local impact.

What progress is already happening in our backyard? What opportunities lie ahead? And how can Minnesota continue to lead the way? Join us for an electrifying conversation about what’s next for climate and energy — and how we can all take action to keep the momentum going.

“All proceeds from this powerful event will support Fresh Energy’s work to design, influence, and implement equitable policy to continue ambitiously advancing a carbon-neutral economy in Minnesota and the Midwest.

And you won’t want to miss the Fair of the Future — our all-electric showcase opening before check-in at 7:30 a.m. and continuing after the breakfast concludes until 11 a.m. You’ll get hands-on with the latest electric vehicles, outdoor gear, e-bikes, induction cooking demos, heat pump tech, and more — plus expert guidance to help you “go electric” every step of the way. Learn more about what’s in store at the Fair of the Future here.
