The Commitment

Revitalizing a Campus & Community Connection

Chris Coborn "I am honored and excited to serve as Chair of the National Hockey and Event Center Campaign. Our goal is to raise at least $12 million in private charitable contributions for the project. The response so far has been gratifying. Donors — both Husky hockey fans and others whose interest lies in the broader vision — have come forward in numbers and with contributions that give me confidence that we can exceed our goal."

—Chris Coborn, Chair, NHEC Campaign

A revitalized community requires a community commitment. Citizens, friends and St. Cloud State alumni will all benefit from this effort. Together, we’ll provide central Minnesota with an extraordinary new resource: a major destination for entertainment, retail, conventions and sporting events that will showcase St. Cloud and St. Cloud State University throughout the upper Midwest.

The National Hockey and Event Center will encompass some $30 million in first-class improvements and expansion, with funding coming from a variety of sources – including charitable contributions of at least $12 million.

An energetic committee of volunteers and community leaders, led by Committee Chair, Brian Schoenborn, is actively engaged in helping to meet this goal. We invite you to consider your own contribution and to make a generous commitment to this exciting future.
