The Stockton Thunder continues their tradition of contributing to
the community through raising awareness, education and funds in support
of local non-profit organizations. In keeping with that spirit, the
Thunder proudly announce our Military Appreciation Weekend.
On Friday, February 15 and Saturday, February 16, 2013 the Thunder
will host two home games to support the armed services. Event proceeds
will benefit the Welcome Home Heroes organization.
“Over the years, Thunder fans have been extremely receptive to
opportunities we have had to recognize the men and women who so bravely
serve our country,” said team President Dan Chapman.
“Because of this, we feel it is definitely time to do something more
substantial that will celebrate their service while at the same time
raise funds for local organizations that support our military and
veterans.”
In honor of our first Military Appreciation Weekend, we will be
having veteran and active military dropping the puck at many of our
games.
On February 15th the first 5,000 fans will receive a patriotic poster
and on the 16th the first 2,000 fans (13+) will receive a red, white
and blue cap.
