Service
As a Minnesota 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Former Queens engage in many fundraising activities in service to the community. Each year two local charities are selected that are meaningful to our members and the community to receive a donation from the Former Queens. One of these charities is selected by our current Queen. We encourage you to learn about and consider supporting these organizations that have been selected for 2025:
