September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month—the perfect time to rally around the goal of ending childhood cancer. Every day, more than 1,000 children worldwide receive this devastating diagnosis. Through our partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, we’re helping fund critical research, advance new treatments, and support affected families. And in September, for every new financial plan delivered to a prospective client, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation will donate to Alex’s. Together, we can rewrite the story for children with cancer.

Elevate on the Lake ⛴️

A day spent focused on growth, leadership, and connection with the leaders of today and tomorrow. We wrapped up the experience with a cruise on Lake Minnetonka, great conversations, and beautiful summer weather. As our organization continues to grow, we're committed to developing the people and teams that will help shape what's next.
