In addition to the auction, the Skyforce will also host an enlistment ceremony at halftime. Over 100 young men and women who have signed up for the Air Force, Army, Navy, National Guard, and Marines will take part in a ceremony that will enlist them into one of the aforementioned organizations.
"Military Night is a game we look forward to every season," said Skyforce President Mike Heineman. "We are honored to host the men and women who protect our country and to raise money for the families of those soldiers who are currently serving."
About Operation Cares
In March of 2003, the Sioux Falls Skyforce created a charity to benefit family members of soldiers who were sent overseas for service. Operation Cares was launched with the help of over 20 Sioux Falls businesses. This effort has been very successful as it has raised over $160,000. All proceeds have gone to help military families with everyday needs such as car repairs, groceries, home repairs, etc.
Season tickets, flex packs, and tickets for Military Night are on sale now. Discounts and benefits are available for groups of 10 or more. For more information, please contact a Skyforce representative visiting the front office at 2131 S. Minnesota Avenue or by calling at (605) 332-0605.
