During the game there will be a 50/50 raffle, halftime balloon release and bake sale.
Joining the annual event for the second year is a 5K night glow run. Registration is from 7 to 8 p.m. The race is at 8 p.m. Registration fee is $25.
Individuals, businesses and organizations are invited to donation prizes. Contact Jennifer Fred Ritz at 419-575-3681 or on Facebook.
