Wild announce Dec. 16 Foundation Gala at Grand Casino Arena
The charity event will benefit the Minnesota Wild Foundation and Children’s Minnesota, with roster members scheduled to attend.
The Minnesota Wild announced Monday that their Foundation Gala will take place Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 5:30 p.m. at Grand Casino Arena. Tickets are on sale through [the team's gala page](https://www.nhl.com/wild/foundation/gala).
The event will raise money for the Minnesota Wild Foundation and Children's Minnesota. Fans will have an opportunity to meet members of the 2026-27 roster, although the club says player participation could change.
A reception will feature cocktails and hors d'oeuvres served by Wild bartenders and waiters, along with a silent auction of sports memorabilia and experiences. Dinner and a program will follow. One table offers eight guests the opportunity to sit with Wild president of hockey operations and general manager Bill Guerin.
The Foundation says it has awarded $7.5 million in grants since 2009 to hockey organizations and nonprofits working on children's health and well-being. It also reports helping local charities raise more than $9.3 million through charitable gambling.
