Fraser Gala raise funds underfunded rehabilitation therapy [Video]

Fraser, a leader in disability and inclusion services, will host its annual gala on Nov. 1 from 5-10 p.m. at The Depot Minneapolis. The event, themed A Story from Yellow to Blue, A Journey Inside You, will raise funds for Fraser’s Rehabilitation Therapy Program, which is facing a $600,000 deficit due to a staggering lack of funding for individuals and families on medical assistance.
