DOUBLE PLAYS FOR CHARITY 2022

Along with the Minnesota Twins, we are sponsors of the Double Plays for Charity program. During the regular MLB season, each time the Twins complete a Double Play, Innovative will donate $100 to a local charity (up to $5000 maximum). The selected charity for the second half of the season, Northrop!

About Northrop

Rooted in the belief that the arts are essential to human experience, Northrop is committed to cultivating the rich intersections of performing arts and education. Considered a Minneapolis architectural treasure, Northrop is an enduring symbol of the University of Minnesota, and a focal point of the Twin Cities campus and community. Since 1929, Northrop has served as the University’s primary gathering place for the performing arts, world-renowned dance performances, concerts, academic ceremonies, and major civic events. Northrop continues its role as a place of learning, memory, and celebration—opening new worlds to students, and bringing generations of diverse audiences to the Twin Cities campus.

For over 70 years, Northrop has been home to its signature Dance Series—serving as the region’s premier presenter of national and international ballet and contemporary dance companies—and its Music Series—featuring legendary music artists. A major force within Minnesota’s rich cultural environment, Northrop hosts a dizzying array of artists, entertainers, and public figures—from Igor Stravinsky to Santana; Mikhail Baryshnikov to Neil Young; His Holiness The Dalai Lama to the Grateful Dead. Known for its acoustic excellence, it is also home to the magnificently restored 1932 Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ—one of the last remaining concert hall pipe organs in the United States. Through its programs, concerts, and more, Northrop serves over 250,000 audience members from Minnesota and the upper Midwest annually.
