Carlson 4 Community (C4C)
Carlson 4 Community (C4C) was established in 2005 by full-time MBA students at Minnesota Carlson to unite the MBA program, other Carlson master’s programs, alumni, and faculty in support of local causes.
As the leading student organization promoting volunteerism and community involvement within the Twin Cities, C4C offers numerous opportunities for Carlson students to give back. Its flagship event is the annual Carlson MBA Charity Auction, which raises funds for a local charity chosen by the student body each year.
Over its 21-year history, C4C has raised more than $550,000 for local Twin Cities organizations, thanks to the generosity of Carlson students, faculty, alumni, and the broader community.
