About Give16

The Give16 story

NHL player Jason Zucker has had a deep and meaningful connection to University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital since the 2016 introduction to 8-year-old patient, Tucker Helstrom. Helstrom was the inspiration behind the GIVE16 campaigns that raise money for University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital and the Zucker Family Suite and Broadcast Studio.
