ASB raised $10,000 for Star of the North Maternity Home during its annual Accelerate event. Through the generosity of the American family and valued supplier partners, this year’s contribution doubled last year’s donation total.

The chosen local charity, Star of the North, holds a close connection to ASB and a mission that struck a chord with attendees: “Our mission is to support pregnant women or women with children 18 years of age or older without a home in Northeastern Minnesota.”

Since opening its doors in 2019, Star of the North has welcomed mothers and families into its Duluth location and has more recently expanded with additional rooms in Hibbing. Staff and volunteers work closely with each mother to provide stability, support, and guidance as they prepare for a sustainable future.

“We’re helping moms write their stories,” shared Molly Rathke, Program Manager.

“Our hope is to go beyond housing to transform women’s lives with education, holistic medical care, and comprehensive services by partnering with our TFLN collaborative and community partners,” according to Star of the North’s website.

This charitable tradition has become a meaningful part of ASB’s Accelerate event. ASB remains committed to ensuring each gathering not only fosters professional growth and connection, but also creates a lasting and meaningful impact on the host community.
