SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
TCO ImPACT CONCUSSION TESTING
The TCO Foundation’s generous support of our ImPACT Testing program was instrumental in helping enhance the safety and well-being of our community partners through improved concussion management. Thanks to the TCO Foundation, over 30,000 ImPACT tests were provided at no cost to the local communities we serve.
BOLDER OPTIONS
Bolder Options provides intensive, long-term support to young people in our communities. They start by pairing youth ages 10-14 with a caring adult mentor for a year of one-to-one mentorship with an emphasis on goal setting in three key areas: physical health, academic success, and social-emotional development. Pairs also participate in nutrition nights, service activities, and other events hosted by Bolder Options and their partners. At the end of one year, the pair’s accomplishments are celebrated at a graduation ceremony, and they are invited to continue with Bolder Options as part of the alumni program. This program provides ongoing resources, career exploration opportunities, and leadership development, ensuring that our youth continue to thrive as they transition into high school and beyond.

“For over 30 years, Bolder Options has supported young people by connecting them with positive mentors to promote healthy, positive development. The Twin Cities Orthopedics Foundation has been an invaluable partner in this journey. Through their generous contributions and collaborative energy, they’ve played a key role in advancing our mission. We are profoundly grateful for their unwavering commitment to our community and their enduring support of our work.”
Darrell Thompson | President, Bolder Options

“United Heroes League is incredibly grateful for our continued partnership with the Twin Cities Orthopedics Foundation. Their commitment to health, teamwork, and community makes a lasting difference for military children and veterans. Having TCO serve as the Title Sponsor of Hockey Day Minnesota 2026 was especially meaningful, as their support helped impact hundreds of heroic families by making sports more accessible and affordable while also boosting morale during times of separation and recovery. We are truly thankful for TCO’s leadership, generosity, and the continued impact they make through the Foundation.”

Northside Boxing Club
Northside Boxing Club provides a safe place to teach fundamentals about life, character, nutrition, education, and boxing. They offer free boxing classes 6 days a week, a space to do homework, and nutritious meals for free.

“TCOF has become a very important partner for Northside Boxing—not only have they contributed to our annual fund, but their generosity extends to supplies and equipment for the gym, which is needed. Northside wouldn’t be able to do what we do without foundations like TCOF. It takes the broader community to help impact our community. We are forever grateful for TCOF and their leadership for partnering with Northside.”
