2022 All-Star Evening is a Smashing Success!

After a two-year hiatus, Minnesota’s business, philanthropic, and community leaders came together on May 12th for the 2022 All-Star Evening – and it was the largest most successful event in ACES history! More than 500 registered guests stepped off the sidelines to support our Twin Cities students, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Guests enjoyed delicious food, drink, and a signature cocktail by Carly Zucker and our friends at Gray Duck Spirits; bid on fabulous live and silent auctions; and enjoyed a program featuring remarks from ACES leaders, moving videos, breathtaking performances from internationally acclaimed singer Jearlyn Steele. The highlight of the evening was seeing our students introduce and present the 2022 ACES Locked In Award to Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan C. Page.

Funds raised at the All-Star Evening directly support ACES’s programming and fuel our strategic growth plan. With an incredible team of supporters by our side, we are adding new program sites in the Twin Cities, piloting a program in greater Minnesota, and are on track to quadruple student enrollment by 2024. Thank you to the sponsors, team partners, guests, volunteers, and generous supporters who made this All-Star Evening one we’ll never forget! #ACESAllStar22
