The Wadena-Deer Creek Wolverines football program, along with the Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund, have teamed up to host their first "Tackle Cancer" at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19, when the Wolverines entertain the Osakis Silverstreaks.
Wolverine cheerleaders will have a table set up near the front gate to receive donations in the fight against cancer.
"We are proud to partner with Randy Shaver and the Minnesota Football Coaches Association in hosting a Tackle Cancer game," W-DC activities director Norm Gallant said in a news release. "Everyone has been affected by cancer in one way or another, and this is our chance to help fund cancer research and find a cure for cancer."
Fans attending the game are encouraged to donate. During the first two years, Minnesota high school and college football programs have raised more than $200,000 to help find a cure for cancer. More than 300 high schools, colleges, and universities have joined the initiative again this year.
