WINDSOR, Colo. - During the second intermission of tonight's Northern Conference Finals playoff game against the Mississippi RiverKings, the Colorado Eagles Foundation, a part of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado, presented a check for $10,000 to Fort Collins City Manager Darin Atteberry toward the construction of the Veterans Plaza at Spring Canyon Community Park in Fort Collins.

Nine-thousand of the $10,000 total was raised through a special military jersey auction held at the Eagles' annual Military Appreciation Night game on Nov. 11, 2008. For that game, held on Veterans Day, Eagles season ticket holders and sponsors donated over 1,500 of their own tickets to be redistributed to military members, both past and present, in an effort to fill the Budweiser Events Center will military personnel and their families.

The Veterans Plaza at Spring Canyon Community Park is a project under construction with the goal of recognizing past, present and future military members in Larimer County and all of Northern Colorado. For more information, or to donate yourself, please visit their Web site at FortCollinsVeteransPlaza.org.
