The 2012 Campaign

 

In 2012, the Ciresi Walburn Foundation (then the Robins, Kaplan, Miller, & Ciresi Foundation for Children) launched a major public service campaign to call attention to Minnesota’s glaring achievement gap and to push for workable solutions. The campaign included skyway banners and print, online, and radio ads.
