Modern Woodmen of America and the Quad Cities River Bandits will donate $5,000 to the Quad Cities Community Foundation’s Disaster Recovery Fund during the Wednesday, Aug. 30, Bandits game in Davenport.
Modern Woodmen and the River Bandits held a salute-to-first responders jersey auction as part of the “Modern Woodmen Night” game on Wednesday, July 26. The auction netted $2,500, and with Modern Woodmen’s match, a total of $5,000 will be donated to the recovery fund.
The check presentation will be held during the second inning of the game. The game starts at 6:30 p.m.
Modern Woodmen President and CEO Jerry Lyphout and River Bandits owner Dave Heller will present the check to Anne E. Calder, vice president of development for the Quad Cities Community Foundation and board member Liz Cervantes.
The recovery fund provides aid to those impacted in the weeks and months after a disaster occurs.
