Our Executive Director, Leika Pierre-Louis, was recently honored as the L'Etoile Du Nord by the Minnesota United FC team during their Black Excellence game, which also featured other community members.
Several staff and board members were in attendance as we celebrated this moment! We were proud to our work recognized, our mission uplifted, and our leader honored.
MNUFC was built around a clear set of core values: resilience, inclusivity, dedication, passion, teamwork and respect. At every home match, the L’Étoile Du Nord (Star of the North), presented by Target, is awarded at halftime to a community member who is actively embodying these values. They believe that by highlighting people who are making a positive difference in the area, they can help bolster their efforts and inspire more people to act in kind.
