LeaderJacks on Valentine’s Day, Left to Right: LaRiya Hankel, Resident Name Unknown, Darcie Rae and Trinity Tanne

The LeaderJacks keep giving back to the Bottineau community. After raising over $200 at a bake sale in January, LeaderJacks decided to find ways to support a couple of different generations.
The LeaderJacks delivered Valentines to the long-term residents in Bottineau on Valentine’s Day. They put together treat bags with candy, goodies, activities, and care stickers.
 
They invite you to join them on February 21 at the home basketball games vs United Tribes Technical College. The LeaderJacks are hosting a stuffed animal drive at 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm home games.  All stuffed animals gathered that evening will be donated to local emergency services. Getting stuffies into the hands of police, fire and emergency officials allows personnel to support a child at the scene of incidents, providing comfort during a traumatic situation.  
Jack fans attending the game(s) may bring a stuffed animal to donate or adopt one at the game for only $5. All the stuffed animals will be tagged. Fans will throw them at a target in the middle of the gym floor with prizes awarded to fans who land one within a targeted area.  
 
Interested in helping the Lumberjacks stuff the emergency vehicles with stuffed animals? Come to the home Jack’s basketball games on Wednesday, February 21 as they take on United Tribes Technical College. The women start at 5:30 pm and the men at 7:30 pm. The stuffed animal toss will take place during half-time of the men’s game.
