  • TICKETS for KIDS® Charities
    ® TICKETS for KIDS Charities Frequently Asked Questions . WHO WE ARE: Tickets for Kids® Charities (TFK) was founded in 1994 to provide opportunities for low-income children to participate in events and activities routinely accessed by their more affluent peers. TFK has built networks of partnerships to provide tickets to children while enhancing capacity for the nonprofits serving them across the U.S. • HOW IT WORKS: TFK obtains donated tickets from individuals and venues and distributes the tickets through approved social service agency partners like Y programs, Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and thousands of smaller grass-roots organizations and Title 1 schools serving low-income and at-risk children. All partner organizations are vetted, trained, and held to high standards of accountability. Tickets are distributed according to guidelines established by the ticket provider, i.e. e-tickets, letters of admission, or physical tickets at Will Call. • HOW MANY: Since its inception, TFK has distributed more than 3 million tickets valued in excess of $64.1 million to disadvantaged children and their families. In 2018, TFK distributed more than 194,000 tickets valued at over $6.6 million, and partnered with youth-serving organizations in 33 states. • WHO PAYS: TFK is donor funded and charges no fee for service. • HOW MUCH: TFK’s operating cost for each distributed ticket is approximately $4.00, which means an unforgettable experience for a child is provided for little more than the price of a cup of coffee. The average (retail) value of each TFK ticket is $36. Through the TFK model, a $1,000 gift generates 276 opportunities (tickets) valued at $36 each, or $8,832 in ticket value.

Its official motto is L'Étoile du Nord (French: Star of the North). Minnesota is the 12th largest in area and the 21st most populous of the U.S. States; nearly 60 percent of its residents live in the Minneapolis –Saint Paul metropolitan area (known as the "Twin Cities"), the center of transportation, business, Flag Seal industry, education, and government and home to an internationally known arts community. The Nickname(s): Land of 10,000 Lakes; remainder of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; North Star State; The Gopher State; The State of deciduous forests in the southeast, now partially cleared, farmed and settled; and the less populated Hockey. North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation.

    Bus Rapid Transit Project Section 106 Assessment of Effects and Final Determination of Effect for Historic Properties November 2020 Prepared by: Minnesota Department of Transportation Cultural Resources Unit 395 John Ireland Boulevard Saint Paul, Minnesota 55155-1899 http://www.dot.state.mn.us/culturalresources/index.html http://www.dot.state.mn.us/culturalresources/contacts.html On behalf of: United States Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Region V 200 West Adams Street, Suite 320 Chicago, Illinois 60606 To request this document in an alternative format: Please call 651-366-4718 or 1-800-657-3774 (Greater Minnesota). You may also send an email to [email protected]. Summary The METRO Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project (Project) is a proposed ten-mile-long BRT line located in Ramsey and Washington counties, Minnesota. Operating in both mixed traffic and on a dedicated guideway, the proposed alignment will generally parallel Interstate (I-) 94 from downtown Saint Paul to just east of I-694, where it will turn south and extend along Helmo and Bielenberg Avenues to the Woodbury Village Shopping Center, connecting downtown Saint Paul with the suburban cities of Maplewood, Landfall, Oakdale and Woodbury. The proposed line includes 21 stations, four (4) of which will include a park-and-ride facility. The Metropolitan Council (MC) intends to apply to the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) to fund the Project, request an Interstate right-of-way use agreement for a portion of the Project’s preferred alternative from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), acting through the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), and seek permits for construction from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

  • The Politics of Subsidizing Sports: Legislative Voting for Three Minnesota Sports Venues
    1 The Politics of Subsidizing Sports: Legislative Voting for Three Minnesota Sports Venues Dave Hitchcock Bemidji State University Political Science Senior Thesis Bemidji State University Dr. Patrick Donnay, Advisor April 2011 2 Abstract Since 1998 the State of Minnesota has funded the building of the Xcel Energy Center, Target Field, and TCF Bank Stadium. The focus of this research is to locate voting trends within the Minnesota House of Representatives towards these venues. I recorded the votes of each member on the legislation approving these venues from the Minnesota Journal of the House and then constructed data sets for all three buildings. From this data, trends emerge potentially linking the voting tendencies of members based on party, gender, and geographical location of their district. Initial analysis supports a fairly strong relationship between district location and member voting. Introduction Having grown up in a state fortunate enough to have a professional team in each of the four major sports (football, hockey, baseball, and basketball) has led to a great interest in sports. Due to the need of these franchises to stay profitable, three new state of the art venues have been built within the past ten years and a fourth is currently being sought; Target Field for Twins baseball, the Xcel Energy Center for Wild hockey, and the third is TCF Bank Stadium for the University of Minnesota football program have all been partially state funded and the fourth stadium for the Vikings football franchise is currently being negotiated. With three venues totaling more than $900 million being built in such a short time, I began to wonder how each franchise was able to secure large funding subsidies from the state.
