Twin Cities United Way Action Day

When thousands of volunteers descend upon Target Field on Thursday, Aug. 18 for the 6th annual United Way Action Day to help assemble 9,000 Backpacks for School Success, event organizers say attendees will experience a fun-filled and inspirational evening of music, community stories and most of all, come away knowing they're part of '#huMNkind.'

Greater Twin Cites United Way and the Minnesota Twins are co-hosting the 5 to 8 p.m. event.
