The 2022-23 school year was one of the most impactful in ACES’s history. We are proud to share the results with you in our 2023 Impact Report!

The Saints and Treasure Island generously presented ACES with a check for $12,000 to further our mission of closing the academic opportunity gap.

Members of the Executive Board are hosting a special 2023 ACES Back-to-School Challenge, offering a dollar-for-dollar match on all donations made before Thursday, August 31st, up to $5,000.

Last month, our friends and partners at Treasure Island Resort & Casino and the St. Paul Saints hosted students from all nine ACES program sites for a celebratory end-of-school-year bowling field trip!

While another incredible night of celebration has come and gone, the impact that the 2023 All-Star Evening will have on ACES and our students is long-lasting.

Last year’s All-Star Evening was the largest, most successful event in ACES history – and we aren’t slowing down! The All-Star Evening returns to The Fillmore Minneapolis on Thursday, May 18th and ACES is thrilled to announce an inspiring lineup of featured guests.

Take in a beautiful route along the Mississippi River and turn up your heart rate – all while supporting ACES. Whether this is your first 5k or you’re training for a marathon, there’s a race for everyone – even a “Kids K”  for kids and families!

Last year’s All-Star Evening was the largest, most successful event in ACES history – and we aren’t slowing down! ACES continues to expand our programming to serve even more students, and we’re bringing together Minnesota’s most dedicated education champions to power this important work.
