A few years ago the Minnesota Vikings donated apparel, footballs, hats, and other items to our Adopt-A-Squadron project. We adopted a Marine Cobra helicopter squadron that one of our Alums flew in.
This past spring our Deke Crush Week philanthropy was an ice cream social that benefited the U of M Cancer Hospital.
Deke and the Vikings are trying to find ways to partner on different events at the U of M hospitals. The Vikings Children’s Fund is very involved with the pediatric hospital at the U of M and partnering with them makes sense for both groups.
We will post an update on our progress in a couple of weeks.
