Detroit Lakes , MN (KDLM)-

United Community Bank teamed up with residents and businesses in Perham, Frazee and Dent to raise more than $30,500 for Veterans Honor Flight of North Dakota and Minnesota through a series of community fundraisers in September.

The effort was part of Minnesota Bankers Community Impact Month and included food trucks, community picnics and a bake sale in Frazee. The bank also recognized several local businesses and organizations for helping make the fundraiser a success.

UCB matched every dollar donated by the communities, doubling the original contributions.

Bank President Charlie Cavanagh says the combined total is the largest amount the bank has ever raised in support of the organization.

Veterans Honor Flight of ND/MN transports veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials honoring their service and sacrifices.

Since 2007, the organization has flown more than 1,200 veterans.

More information about the program and applications for veterans are available at veteranshonorflightofndmn.org
