This summer, the Minnesota Wild partnered with The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota on a unique recycling project. Rally towels from previous seasons were donated to be used in caring for the 800 sick and injured raptors the center receives each year.

A portion of the towels will also be shared with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota, a community partner of The Raptor Center, where they will be used to help provide medical care and rehabilitation for injured, sick and orphaned wild animals.
