Helping Little Heroes

On Tues 9/20, several members of our team provided manpower for the Helping Little Heroes paper drive which raises money for Children's Hospital. This annual event brings awareness of the critical health needs of kids in Minnesota and raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for research and medical treatments. Our players served at four locations in the metro area, selling the Minneapolis Star Tribune papers for $1; Seventy-five cents per paper goes directly to Children's Hospital Foundation. We began participating in this fundraiser three years ago because of our team's special connection to Markus Bachman who was a miracle baby six years ago at Children's.
