SUMMARY:Teal Sponsors ACLU of Minnesota Event
DESCRIPTION:Teal is sponsoring the ACLU of Minnesota’s 2026 Evening of Dissent: Make it Count\, a nonprofit fundraising event on October 7 at the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis. The annual evening looks back on the past year\, celebrates its victories\, and previews the work ahead. \nNonprofits and associations do a lot with small teams and tight budgets. Teal has supported organizations like these for years. In fact\, our first client was a nonprofit. When their technology is secure and reliable\, their people can focus on their mission. Sponsoring events like this one is how we support that work beyond our help desk and consulting sessions. \nThis is an ACLU of Minnesota event. To attend\, purchase tickets on the ACLU of Minnesota event page.
