The Red Wings Alumni came to Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing, MI to raise funds for veterans charities in the “Patriot Classic.”
Fox 47’s Will Lemmink reports:
On Sunday, Detroit Red Wings Alumni took the ice with PGA professionals to raise money for three veteran organizations: PGA HOPE, Spike’s K9 Fund, and Folds of Honor.
George Bowman, who organized the event, said the passion behind putting it together was clear.
“It’s right there—we got golfers, we got hockey players, we all love to do both, so we get to do both of our passions and raise a ton of money for charity,” Bowman said.
Despite the cold weather, Bowman noted that the turnout was a testament to the community’s dedication.
“You know, Red Berenson, 85 years old, drove all the way from Ann Arbor in this weather to come play. I mean, that speaks volumes to what we’re doing.”
