Due to our non-profit of the night being, Wednesday, the night of the snowstorm and not very many people showing up to the hockey game. In return, we didn’t raise much money for the chuck-a-puck fundraiser. The Heartlanders have invited us back with even more of a discount to try and make up for it. Although we will not be running the chuck-a-puck table this time they are inviting us to do a table to show off what we do and get out name out there! We will not be making anything off of the tickets like last time but just be a nice afternoon out. It will be March 23, 2025 at 3pm. The link is in the comments section!
