NOTE FROM THE THIELENS & CJ
CJ, Caitlin, and I are thrilled to welcome you to the UNRL Celebrity Softball Game!
We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to come together as a community and make a difference in the lives of youth throughout Minnesota and the upper Midwest. All of the money raised tonight will support Thielen Foundation and the Ham Family Scholarship Fund.
As athletes and advocates, we are blessed to have a platform that allows us to give back to the community that has supported us over the years.
We couldn’t do any of this though without the support of all our partners, sponsors, and friends who have helped us along the way. Your dedication to our mission and your passion for helping youth reach their full potential are what makes events like this so special.
So, from the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank every one of you for joining us here tonight and for your continued support of Thielen Foundation and CJ’s Ham Family Scholarship Fund. Let’s play some ball and make a difference!

OUR STORY
Adam Thielen is an American football wide receiver who played in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings and currently plays for the Carolina Panthers.
Whether on the field or in the local community, Adam and his wife, Caitlin, have been overwhelmed by the love and support they have received from the Minnesota community both growing up and during Adam’s playing career. Because of this, they felt compelled to give back to the community that has given both of them so much over the years. As a result, the Thielen Foundation was formed in 2018.
The Foundation has established programs, like #ChangeThruSport, football camps and more, and has donated over $3,000,000 back into the community to help serve, educate and inspire those in need.
