Great Northern Employees Take Third in Fundraiser for Veterans

On August 20th, 20 Great Northern team members participated in the “Pulling for Honor” fundraiser event at the Appleton International Airport. The fundraiser raises money for future Old Glory Honor Flights, a local organization whose mission is to fly WW II veterans to Washington DC to see the memorials built in their honor. The goal was for teams to pull a 200,000-pound jet plane for 12 feet as quickly as possible. Our team completed this in 16.363 seconds, winning us third place. Thank you to our team members that continue to show that Great Northern Cares!
