More Than a Day at Valleyfair: Investing in the Next Generation

FROM THE MINNESOTA CHILL FOUNDATION TEAM

Some opportunities create memories. Others plant seeds that continue growing long after the day is over.

We are incredibly grateful to the Thielen Foundation for another unforgettable day at Valleyfair, where 100 young people and leaders from Zanewood Recreation Center and the CHILL Basketball Program came together to celebrate, connect, and simply enjoy being kids. After dedicating themselves through volunteer service, this experience became a well-earned reminder that commitment and character are always worth investing in.
One of the highlights of the day was spending time with hometown hero Adam Thielen, whose Q&A encouraged our youth to dream bigger, work harder, and believe that success is built through discipline, resilience, and service.
Partnerships like this matter because they extend far beyond a single event. They create experiences that inspire confidence, strengthen community, and remind our young people that they are seen, valued, and capable of achieving great things.
We are honored to partner with organizations like the Thielen Foundation whose commitment to empowering young people aligns so closely with our mission of preparing the next generation for success in life.
