The sponsored event was also a chance to bring local law enforcement and area kids together, as part of the Officer and Teen Mentorship Program.
“All the kids were able to grab a bat or a ball, Sara bags, Sara bands, stuffed animals, and school supplies… it’s my Sara style twist,” said Sherry Hougom, Sara’s Mom.
This is the Sara Rose Hougom Foundation’s 4th year sponsoring a La Crosse Loggers game.
