Thielen Foundation to provide money, equipment to help three organizations hit hard by COVID-19, riot damage
Adam Thielen and his foundation are continuing their wonderful charity work. A year after launching a program to provide athletic and academic support for Brooklyn Center High School, Thielen and his wife Caitlin are using their foundation to help areas of Minneapolis most affected by the coronavirus pandemic and civil unrest. The Thielen Foundation announced Thursday it will provide more than $75,000 in cash and equipment to Cooper High School in New Hope, the Northside Impact Fund and Urban Ventures, while beginning a campaign to provide all three organizations with additional money to finish capital projects and continue existing programs.
