Children’s Minnesota is hosting this event in honor of our 100th anniversary. We started out our centennial year with a celebration at our St. Paul hospital as Gov.

What is the mural event?
The mural will be designed and led by professional muralist, Tara Aiken, in partnership with our Children’s Minnesota Youth Advisory Council. Tara will create the outline of the mural, but it will take our community to paint and bring the masterpiece to life!

Celebrating a century of care: Children’s Minnesota turns 100
Children’s Minnesota has been here for 100 years. And it’s all because of you: the people who bring their kids here, the ones who work here, the partners who refer their young patients for specialty treatment, the donors who support us, and the community who rallies around the families in our hospitals. Join us in celebrating a century of care — and a bright, healthy future for Minnesota kids.
