CHILL Tech 2025 wrapped up on a high note, celebrating the curiosity, dedication, and potential of Minnesota’s young minds. This year, we were especially proud of Ben Young and Hunter Capers from Champlin Park High School, Genevieve Adelsman and Tori Evans, whose effort and enthusiasm stood out—but every student in the program proved that when given access, youth are ready to rise to the challenge.

What an incredible evening! On Saturday, November 15th, MN CHILL Foundation brought the community together for our Day Party Fundraiser — and together, we raised an amazing $10,500 to support gym time and training opportunities for our CHILL basketball students. From the moment doors opened at the Brooklyn Park Small Business Center, the room filled with laughter, strategy, competition, and connection. This was more than a fundraiser — it was a celebration of community power, teamwork, and a shared belief in our youth.

Spooktacular was a festive and fun celebration that brought more than 1,750 community members out for a night of treats, costumes, and unforgettable moments. Thanks to the support of booth hosts and sponsors, over 35,000 treats were shared, along with fruit snacks and Pirates Booty corn puff snacks.
