Here at Thielen Foundation, we believe in the power of sport. The power of sport to change our society by showcasing our differences – and similarities – and how we can come together as a team to achieve a greater goal. We also believe the zip code you are born in should not determine your future potential which is why we developed the #ChangeThruSport campaign.

The #ChangeThruSport program was developed in 2020 to stand in the gap for underserved youth in the upper Midwest. Thielen Foundation boldly puts its passion into action by providing financial support, much needed sports equipment and apparel, along with hope and inspiration for youth to dream big and attain their goals on and off the playing field and set them up for success in life.
