Ice Breaker benefits Marquette General Foundation

The Bark River Lions Clubs recently wrapped up its very successful Ice Breaker event in Delta County.

The Lions parked an Icebreaker race truck on Lake Michigan and sold raffle tickets, with the first- and second-place winners being those who came closest to  correctly predicting the time and date when the truck would fall through the ice.

The Club honored the first- and second-place winners at a media event at the Island Resort and Casino in Harris. In addition, the club made a $1,000 gift to the Marquette General Foundation as part of its $15,000, three-year pledge to the Marquette General Foundation for the Accelerating the Future Capital Campaign.
