The Bellevue University men's soccer team participated in the Performance Community Truck-Pull on Saturday (May 18) raising money for the Wounded Warriors Family Support organization.
The truck-pull event celebrated the opening of the new Performance Bellevue dealership and pitted local teams against each other - pulling nearly two tons worth of Ram turcks in a competition to win cash prizes for their favorite charity.
The Bruins finished third in the event, raising $750 for Wounded Warriors.
