CLAYTON, New York (WWNY) – A group that raises awareness and support for wounded Fort Drum soldiers received a $20,000 donation on Tuesday.
The 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel in Clayton presented a check to North Country Troopers Assisting Troops.
The money was raised through the annual Fire and Ice Celebration the hotel puts on every winter.
<We have persons out on Fort Drum, they reach out to us and they say there is a service member in need. we will make a motion for a monetary amount and normally within 12 hours at the most within 24 hours that that service member will have a check in hand so everything stays here,” said Randy Pound of North Country Troopers Assisting Troops.
Fire and Ice has raised more than $150,000 for the organization since it started in 2015.
