It’s
SIDTENNIAL,
Minnesota!
A lot has changed over the last 100 years, but one thing has remained consistent: the voice of the legendary Sid Hartman, through radio waves on News Talk 830 WCCO and on paper in the Star Tribune.
Help us celebrate the extraordinary 100th birthday of our close, personal friend by leaving Sid a birthday note and making a donation to three local causes that hold a special place in his heart.
Since he was 3 years old, Sid’s grandson, Quintin Hartman, has undergone surgery after surgery and test after test, to understand the unusual circumstances around his frequent illnesses. After a long journey with the support and care of Children’s Minnesota and Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, Quintin and the Hartman family were finally provided a diagnosis of DYRK1A Syndrome, Epilepsy and Autism, and connected with the DYRK1A Syndrome International Association for continued support and care. These critical organizations have been a tremendous support to the entire Hartman family and it is Sid’s birthday wish that the generosity of his friends will help provide more families with continued care.
These ‘birthday gifts’ for Sid will continue to build upon the care these organizations can provide to other families across our communities, and we’ll compile your birthday notes into one grand card that will be given to Sid on his birthday, March 15th, 2020.
Sid Hartman
Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare cares for patients who have some of the most complex, rare and traumatic conditions in pediatric medicine, including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, spina bifida and hydrocephalus.
Children who have disabilities and complex medical needs—and their families—have been at the center of their mission for more than 120 years. Through innovative treatments, comprehensive care and life-changing research, Gillette ensures that every child can reach their full potential.
Children’s Minnesota is an independent, not-for-profit health care system that cares for over 135,000 kids each year as the seventh largest pediatric health system in the country and the only health system in Minnesota to provide care exclusively to children, from birth through young adulthood.
Along with two free-standing hospitals (one in Minneapolis and one in St. Paul), Children’s Minnesota has 12 primary and specialty clinics and six rehabilitation clinics. Children’s Minnesota makes a big difference to the kids they care for with 100% of donations being spent on the kids and families who can’t afford medical care for their children.

From a career that started with a newspaper delivery route for the Minneapolis Tribune, Sid’s masterful skill as a sports reporter and unrivaled analysis of local sports matches has led to nearly a century of reporting for these prominent news organizations and the culmination of a state filled with close, personal friends.

DYRK1A Syndrome International Association (DSIA) supports and maintains a unified community of families and professionals focused on improving the lives of individuals affected by DYRK1A Syndrome. When three copies are present, DYRK1A is one of the genes thought to be primarily responsible for neurocognitive deficits associated with Down syndrome. When only one copy of the gene is functioning it results in DYRK1A Syndrome. Since the first two reported cases in 2008, DYRK1A Syndrome International Association has since reached more than 350 individuals across the world with similar diagnoses.
