STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) — An annual charity event raised $29,000 dollars for veterans programs Saturday. The second annual Guns N Hoses softball game was played at Bukolt Park in Stevens Point featuring the Stevens Point Police Department against the Stevens Point Fire Department.
The ball game was won by the firefighters for the second straight year 18-9, but the real winners were Portage County’s veterans. The donations, concessions, and raffles raised $23,000 dollars for the Portage County Veterans Relief Fund and $6,000 for the Honor Flight program, which takes veterans to Washington D.C. to see the memorials erected in their honor.
