1st Responder & Military Appreciation Night

This is an example of a sentence to begin a paragraph.We are excited to announce that Kuna High School will host its 3rd annual First Responder and Military Appreciation Game on September 6, 2024. This tradition continues to grow, and we look forward to honoring even more first responders and military members, both past and present.

This year, we are honored to welcome Abbey Bolter, widow of Deputy Tobin Bolter, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. The game will be dedicated to Deputy Bolter, and we will raise funds for the Bolter family as a small token of our gratitude for their sacrifices.

Our goal is to celebrate as many first responder and military heroes as possible, whether they have served in the past or are currently serving. Please share this invitation with anyone who may be interested in participating. It’s always a great night!T

Tickets for the game can be pre-purchased here: https://gofan.co/event/1514689?schoolId=ID14455

*All 1st Responders & Military members an immediate family will receive free admission and dinner (no need to purchase a ticket).
