Our April newsletter snapshot – The entire newsletter in a quick, easy to read format!
For 11 years, Julie and Elmer Braegelmann have welcomed their community to their Minnesota farm for a special fall tradition—a pumpkin patch fundraiser filled with family-friendly fun. Guests enjoy pumpkin picking, horse rides, hayrides, crafts, games, and face painting, all while supporting a meaningful cause. Inspired by Julie’s son’s MS diagnosis, the Braegelmanns have dedicated their efforts to ACP for the past three years, raising over $3,800 to help advance MS research and find a cure.

“Thanks for all you guys do. A cure wouldn’t even be possible if organizations like ACP didn’t step up and go for it.” – Julie Braegelmann

Julie and Elmer are committed to advancing research and finding a cure that benefits everyone affected by MS. They’ve shown that even small-town events can make a big impact. With every pumpkin picked, laugh shared, and dollar raised, they are helping to create a future where MS no longer defines lives. Their passion, dedication, and generosity highlight the power of community to inspire hope and drive change.
