Since its inaugural flight in October 2013, Central Valley Honor Flight has led the effort to honor local World War II veterans by sending them to see their memorial in Washington D.C. When forming several years ago, the organization not only knew the need was great, with an estimated 5,000 WWII veterans in the Central Valley’s seven-county area, but they also knew they had to act fast, because these veterans are unfortunately passing away all too often. 

Visalia Rawhide is dedicating a game to fallen Deputy Randy Hoppert, donating 100% of ticket sales and matching funds to support his family after he was killed in Porterville. Hoppert died while responding to a report of shots fired during an eviction, and his death has sparked a region‑wide outpouring of support.
