Veterans, Military Take Center Stage This Season

MIDLAND, Mich. - Last season, the Great Lakes Loons put the spotlight on some local veterans during home games by recognizing their accomplishments and thanking them for their service in protecting our country's freedom. The Loons are proud to partner with Sport Clips to once again honor local veterans throughout the 2019 season. 
Friends and family may nominate a veteran to be recognized as the Sport Clips Veteran of the Game at a Loons game this summer. The veteran will receive four tickets to the Loons game of their choice, on-field recognition between innings, and a special offer courtesy of Sport Clips. 
"As long-time business owners in Midland and Mt. Pleasant, we are honored to have the opportunity to sponsor the Sport Clips Veteran of the Game at Great Lakes Loons games this season," said Rick Ohle, who owns the Sport Clips stores along with his wife, Nancy. "We are strong local and national supporters of veteran causes. We offer a 20% discount to all veterans and active duty military every day of the year, as well as free haircuts to veterans and active duty military on Veterans Day. Our teams are passionate supporters of the VFW's Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship program, as are our generous clients."
In 2018, Sports Clips donated a record-breaking $1.35 million dollars to the VFW in support of the Help A Hero scholarship program. 
Nominations will be accepted at loons.com/sportsclips. The Loons front office staff will contact winners to schedule their game
