Fargo Force News Release
FARGO, ND - The Fargo Force announced today that the total raised from Honor Flight night on Nov. 10 was just under $20,000.
This was the first year the promotion took place and the date was selected close to Veteran's Day to honor veterans. All money raised from the night was donated back to the Veteran's Honor Flight of ND/MN. The funds were raised through proceeds from ticket sales and chuck-a-puck sales, a silent auction and the post-game jersey auction of the team's specialty Honor Flight jerseys. The jersey auction alone brought in just over $16,000 in total.
"This event means everything to the Honor Flight," said Vice President of Veterans Honor Flight of ND/MN Lori Ishaug. "This will send 20 veterans to D.C. We are able to send our veterans on a life changing trip. I always feel that this is something we can do for our veterans considering what they have done for us. We would not be here without them."

The Fargo Force are on the road this weekend in Iowa for two games versus the Dubuque Fighting Saints and the Des Moines Buccaneers. The Buccaneers travel back to Fargo the night before Thanksgiving on Wed., Nov. 21 to face the Force at 7:05 PM at Scheels Arena.
