STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) — The Never Forgotten Honor Flight fundraiser that was a huge success on the first try will be back again this year. Guns n’ Hoses is the charity softball game putting the Stevens Point Police Department against the Stevens Point Fire Department.
In the September 13th inaugural event, the firefighters defeated the police 21-11, but the real winners were the veterans. The event raised $44,000 dollars. All of the money went towards the Honor Flight program, to help veterans travel to Washington D.C. to see the memorials built in their honor.
The cops will get their rematch Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 at Bukolt Park starting at 1:00 p.m. Police Chief Kevin Ruder says everyone should expect an even bigger event this year.
