Matt’s parents, Sue and Doug Olson said, “This was a very special night for our family. It was exciting to see these two organizations come together to support Matt in this way. We would like to thank the Minnesota Wild, the Chicago Blackhawks and their broadcast partners for all that they did to make this a successful event. We would also like to thank everyone that bid on the auction items and those that made financial donations.”
The Wild, Blackhawks and their broadcast partners promoted the fundraising effort throughout the past week, culminating when the Wild hosted the Blackhawks on Tuesday, March 29 at Xcel Energy Center.
