2026 CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP PACKET

EIN: 26‑2517984

OUR MISSION

For more than 16 years, Blues on the Chippewa has brought national, regional, and local musicians to Durand while raising funds to support Pepin County families, nonprofits, and youth.

Our fall event, Brews on the Chippewa, was created to expand this mission — helping us raise additional funds so we can give even more back to the community.

Your partnership strengthens our community while aligning your brand with two well‑established, high‑visibility events.
