The Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation will host their 13th annual Celebrity Party and Concert at the International Event Center in Rochester on Sunday June 27, 2010.

The Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation (aka: Team 25) is a 501c3 nonprofit started by Shjon and Sherry Podein in 1997. Shjon, a native of Rochester, MN, is a 12 year veteran of the NHL with career highlights including winning the Stanley Cup in 2001 with the Colorado Avalanche and being awarded the King Clancy Cup that same year for his service to humanity off-ice. The mission of the Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation is to improve the quality of life and create an environment of caring and community support for children facing extraordinary difficulties in their lives. The children, their families, our board and volunteers, sponsors, and celebrities all work together in our efforts to accomplish this mission and together we are TEAM 25.

Over the past 12 years, the Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation has gifted over $1,200,000.00 to programs that support children. We are excited to to move to the Event Center. The change offers more opportunities and space for more friends! We really appreciate how the community has supported us over years said Shjon Podein.
