A portion of the funds raised will go to support the Children's Minnesota mental health program. As an exclusively pediatric, multidisciplinary health system, Children's Minnesota is building on its long history providing outpatient mental health services for children by creating an inpatient center at its St. Paul hospital, expected to open later this year. Since the first event in 2003, Wild About Children has raised over $2.6 million for charity with more than $1.7 million benefitting Children's Minnesota. The auction will feature exclusive in-game experiences, game used, autographed items, jerseys and equipment and much more.
The Minnesota Wild Foundation exists to support the game of hockey and improve the lives of families in the State of Hockey. With support from Wild players, fans and donors, the Minnesota Wild Foundation supports pediatric medical causes, serves as the largest non-member funding source for Minnesota Hockey, and provides fundraising opportunities for youth hockey associations across the state. Since its inception in 2009, the Wild Foundation has distributed more than $4.6 million in grants to hockey organizations and children's medical related charities and has dispersed over $2.4 million to local charities through its Split the Pot Raffle program. Together we create a Greater State of Hockey. For more information and to make a donation visit
