The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Association traces is founding back to Sean and Judith Clerkin's desire to take Irish Pride and give back. Established in 1969 the organization raises money through the sale of parade buttons and beads for the Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day parade, with all the proceeds going back to support the American Diabetes Association. This is a 100% volunteer organization with no salaried members.
