United Way of NE MN Bull Ride For the Brave has been cancelled. This new event was meant to raise funds for our United for Veterans program, which continues to serve veterans in need throughout our region with crisis funds, resource guides, holiday meal kits, and even transitional housing. The cash raffle to support the program is also being postponed until a later date. Ticket sales will resume when work from home restrictions are lifted.
We are grateful to everyone who purchased tickets and to all the sponsors and local businesses in Hibbing that have shown their support and rallied around this event. Because of everyone's enthusiasm, this was turning out to be not only a night but a whole week of fun to support our veterans. We look forward to working with you all again next spring when we are able to bring what we'd planned to fruition.
In the mean time, UWNEMN staff is working on refunding any tickets that have been purchased and communicating with sponsors regarding their contributions to the event.
We have been blown away by the number of sponsors who have elected to turn their sponsorship of the now-canceled event into a donation to the United for Veterans program; we cannot thank you enough! If you'd like to join them in showing support for the United for Veterans program in the wake of this fundraiser loss, please
