  • “Passion for any cause starts by feeling connected. As donors and supporters, the most meaningful way to get involved is by attending the amazing events and inviting others to join you. The GMJF is more than just a charitable organization, it’s a community of incredible people, and that connection is a gift that keeps on giving!”

    - Catina Koenig, Managing Director, Baird Koenig Jones Group

  • "The Greg Marzolf Jr. Muscular Dystrophy Center at the University of Minnesota is on the cusp of greatness and we can all be a part of that through our support of the GMJ Foundation. It’s not everyday we can all be a part of something that special but we can today.”
