 Brawl of the Wild Food Drive: Results are in! Similarly to the results of the game this weekend, the Bobcats won this competition! OPI employees as a whole donated 115 lbs 10.25 oz of food to our local food pantry. It was a tight competition with employees donating 59 lbs 6.2 oz for the Bobcats and 56 lbs 4.05 oz for the Griz. Thank you all for your generosity and support for the Helena community. The trophy will be kept in the 1300 building for all to admire until next year.
