ST. PAUL, MN (March 25, 2025) - For the fourth consecutive season, Treasure Island Resort & Casino and the St. Paul Saints are partnering to give back to local youth development non-profit organizations through the “Goin’ Yard for Youth” community program. Entering its 11th season as Founding Partner of CHS Field and the title sponsor of the Treasure Island Terrace and the Treasure Island Berm, Treasure Island is proud to be the exclusive casino partner of the Saints.
In 2016, Treasure Island added a ship down the right field line at CHS Field, and a tradition was born. Each time a Saints player hit a home run, the cannons from the ship went off. That practice will continue this year, and to take it a step further, Treasure Island and the Saints will donate a total of $500 for every home run hit by a Saints player at CHS Field during the 2025 regular season to a local nonprofit organization in support of youth and education.
The Saints have hit a total of 297 home runs at CHS Field over the first three seasons of the Goin’ Yard for Youth program, raising a total of $148,500 dollars for local youth enrichment organizations courtesy of Treasure Island and the Saints. Proceeds from the program go to a different 501(c)(3) certified organization each month.
Here are this year’s recipients:
Playworks Minnesota, March 28-April 27: All kids deserve the social, emotional and physical benefits of play. Playworks Minnesota helps schools and youth programs create healthy play environments where every child can join in. Playworks builds a culture of play that enables kids to feel a real sense of belonging.
