The nonprofit Kraus-Anderson Community Foundation has been established to support and sponsor events and activities that benefit communities in which the Kraus-Anderson family of companies reside and work. Working collaboratively with charities, community groups, area businesses and individual volunteers, we’re building stronger communities.
Sporting Change with Kraus-Anderson Community Foundation
We recognize that mental health challenges are common in our industry, and we’re committed to being changemakers. Join us for the third annual Sporting Change pickleball tournament.
Save the date for 2026: We’re excited to host a fun-filled, Halloween-inspired evening of pickleball, food, drink, community, costumes and other fun surprises on Thursday, October 29 from 3-7pm at Pure Pickleball in Plymouth, MN.
2026 event proceeds will support:
Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE), a locally-based, national nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing suicide through education, advocacy, and support services. SAVE has developed a suicide-prevention and mental-health training program called IBEAM (Ideal Body, Environment, and Mind) specifically tailored for the construction industry, where suicide rates are the highest of any profession.
