Do you have plans for Monday, August 18th?

Now you do! The Gbosu Fashion Show Presented by Run Minnesota is the first of its kind; connecting running, community, and fashion. Be the first to experience GBAOSO, a bold new collection designed by Run Minnesota intern Wealth Ndego.

Wealth Ndego is a Nigerian-American multidisciplinary artist and designer interning with Run Minnesota. Her work blends West African heritage with streetwear and performance design, creating looks that bridge tradition, athleticism, and self-expression. This is her first full capsule collection—exclusive to Run Minnesota.

As the title sponsor of the Victory Races, taking place this fall, we will be there to celebrate the exciting launch of this new line! We encourage you to join us. In addition to the show, you can enjoy local beer, exclusive discounts, get a first peek at the new streetwear collection, and connect with fellow runners. There will also be a chance to enter a raffle to win an entry into the sell-out City of Lakes Half Marathon and the fast Victory Races.

Makenna suffered from chronic ulcers in her right eye, resulting in scars that gradually damaged her eyesight. It was determined that a transplant was her best option, and she has since received two cornea transplants, which granted her the gift to see again.

“It’s the kindness and selflessness that it takes for a stranger to grant other people the opportunity to experience this gift. It definitely changed the way my family views organ donation, and it’s something they advocate heavily for.”.

Thank you Donate Life America for sharing Makenna's story!

August is National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month (NMDAM), and we are celebrating & honoring one voice, one vision to save and heal lives!

The need for donation and transplantation is more pronounced in minority communities where disproportionately higher rates of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease contribute to organ failure, especially kidney failure.

So join us as we work to save and improve the quality of life of diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ, eye, and tissue donation.
