The InSports Foundation is excited to announce it's participation in Giving Hearts Day Thursday, February 11th, 2016. We are extremely thrilled be a part of Fargo/Moorhead's biggest day of giving to support the community and help those in need. Learn what Giving Hearts Day is all about and see how InSports plans to help kids get in the game!

​On Thursday, February 11th our online page will be open for your charitable donations. In 2015 there were over 30,500 donations giving to 287 charities. The $6.96 million raised is now at work improving health, stocking pantry shelves for the hungry, providing shelter for the homeless, providing mentors for at-risk kids and, in countless other ways, making life richer for everyone in our region.

InSports will be using the donations made on Giving Hearts Day towards the Zach Kraft Scholarship. Kraft was a hockey player in the Fargo/Moorhead area who was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme — an aggressive stage 4 brain cancer, in February 2014. Through this scholarship, Zach will inspire many kids to continue playing the game he was so passionate about. Hockey equipment alone can cost more than $500 a season, making it less affordable for underprivileged families. InSports will sponsor and mentor kids, making a long-life impact for their future. Helping kids participate in sports is what we are all about! Join us in our journey as we continue to impact kids in our community!

I started playing sports when I could walk! I played volleyball, basketball, softball and dance. ​

I love being active, traveling and hanging out with family and friends. ​

I incorporate fitness into my daily routine. I love training clients on the side and teaching company wellness. ​

I would travel to South America. I love the Hispanic culture and I absolutely love the ocean. ​

In August, hundreds of football players laced up their cleats, put on their helmets and stepped foot on the field for pre-season. Winning the conference and playing in the state tournament was at the forefront for many determined athletes.

​But there is more to football than just a winning record, state titles and stellar uniforms. It’s about being a dedicated team that works hard. Its about getting involved in the community. Its about molding athletes into successful individuals. Throughout the football season The InSports Foundation, Innovative and the Minnesota Vikings were searching for that unique Minnesota football program, and we found them! We had numerous applicants with incredible stories highlighting community involvement, teamwork and extreme dedication to the game of football, and all were deserving.

We are extremely excited to announce Caledonia Football Program as the Minnesota Football Program of the Year and the winner of the “In the Game Award for 2015.” They will be granted $10,000 with a portion of the funds going to a youth sports program to support the InSports Foundation’s mission of helping kids get in the game. Stay tuned for the town takeover this spring!
