Championing Mindfulness: The Mariann Johnson Fundraising Drive

Mariann Johnson has changed the lives of many through her dedication as a Mindfulness and Wellbeing Instructor at the Bakken Center, empowering thousands to navigate life's challenges with resilience. In recognition of her impact on so many, we are pleased to inaugurate a new Mindfulness Fund initially in recognition of Mariann. Your gift will help us change even more lives!

Matching Partners: Twice the Commitment
Double your Mindfulness Support with Jeanne & Maureen!

In recognition of Mariann Johnson, Jeanne Voigt and Maureen Steinwall have generously pledged a combined $10,000 in matching funds to support and expand the mindfulness programs at the Bakken Center. Every dollar you contribute will be matched, doubling your impact. 

That means your $1 gift becomes $2, amplifying our collective efforts. Your support is invaluable; together, let's achieve or surpass our $10,000 goal in recognition of Mariann!

Jeanne and Maureen come from solid business backgrounds and share a resonating viewpoint on the shortfall in mindfulness training crucial for both personal and professional growth. Mindfulness nurtures vital qualities like emotional awareness, resilience, and effective communication. Beyond enhancing professional endeavors, mindfulness invites us into a space of presence and equilibrium, offering tools to navigate stress and anxiety. 

“In my mind, the inspiration for this fund was twofold: 1) to remove financial barriers to participation in any of our mindfulness programs by community members, and 2) to grow and diversify our team of mindfulness instructors to reflect an increasingly more welcoming and inclusive learning environment for all members of our community." – Mariann Johnson
