In partnership with the Tegna Foundation, KARE 11 had the honor of awarding $70,000 in grants to community organizations across the state of Minnesota. The KARE 11 Community Team chose 18 deserving organizations to support in 2024, spreading the funds across the state from Crosby to Bloomington.

Our own Sean Burns is one of the recipients of these generous grants, for his work as the founder of Step with Soul.

Step with Soul empowers students through creative expression and leadership development. Using dance and movement, they build stronger communities through the art of step.

The grant will support Step with Soul’s expansion into St. Paul schools, providing more young Minnesotans with an opportunity to immerse themselves in communal and cultural traditions.
