TRAVERSE CITY – A program that helps returning northern Michigan veterans will receive a huge boost thanks to this year’s Traverse City Patriot Game. Organizers announced last week that the annual event collected more than $13,000 through the sale of shirts, donations and concessions at the game.

A majority of the funds will go to the Grand Traverse “Horses 4 Heroes” program at Reining Liberty Ranch. The nonprofit facility creates a safe place for northern Michigan veterans who have returned from war zones where they have been on hyper vigilance.

The Ranch runs an equine program that helps veterans who are coping with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other physical injuries.
