Fundraiser supporting Upper Peninsula Honor Flight
There will be a fundraiser benefiting the Upper Peninsula Honor flight at the Bear's Den in Spread Eagle, WI on September 9, 2023 from 4-8pm. A portion of mini golf and go cart sales will be donated to the Upper Peninsula Honor Flight.
The Upper Peninsula Honor Flight is a service organization that provides Veterans from around the Upper Peninsula the opportunity to go to Washington DC and see their memorials. This is provided at no cost to the veterans and relies on donations to provide this service to the men and women who have proudly served our country.
Sponsorships in the form of monetary donations and items for raffle baskets will be accepted as well.
If interested in sponsoring the event, please contact organizer Hailey Greenleaf. Hailey is a student at the Iron Mountain High School, and this fundraiser is her personal service project as a National Honor Society Member. Hailey can be reached at 24greenleafh@students.imschools.org
Thank you to The Bear's Den Mini Golf and Go Karts for their generous support of this worthy cause!
