Everyone Counts

Thanks to everyone that participated in The DinoMights Annual Fundraiser on Monday, November 13. The evening was a great opportunity to highlight how everyone counts at DinoMights. Stay tuned for more reports on this great event.

"Last year I didn't think I would be able to play hockey, because I moved. But, with the help of Denny and Mark (giving me rides) I was able to come to Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday practices and games. Thanks, Mark and Denny, I really appreciate it."
-Levi, Seventh Grade PeeWee

Special Guest

Over the years, the Minnesota Wild have been an enthusiastic partner of DinoMights. They have been a great support to our annual fundraisers, and it was a pleasure to, once again, have the Minnesota Wild present at this year's event. We enjoyed having Brad Bombardir, Director of Wild Community Partnerships, as our special guest. Brad gave a wonderful welcome from the Wild, and highlighted the value of DinoMights as a place for students to learn that they count. As a player, Brad was chosen as the Wild Captain a record seven times. He also graciously came to sign autographs for the DinoMights after a game in 2003.
