LUND, Wis. (March 1, 2026) – A sold‑out night of fundraising, prizes, and support for local volunteer firefighters.The Lund Fire Fund is proud to announce the outstanding success of its First Annual Lund Fire Gun Raffle & Bingo Fundraiser, held on February 28, 2026, at the Pepin Sportsman Club. The overwhelming community response made the event an extraordinary success and set a strong foundation for an event in 2027.
What began as a simple idea to support local volunteer firefighters quickly grew into a full‑capacity celebration of community spirit. Every ticket sold, every donation made, and every sponsor who stepped forward helped ensure that the Lund Fire District can continue protecting more than 120 square miles across Pepin Township, Maiden Rock Township, Stockholm Township, and the Village of Stockholm.
Guests enjoyed an incredible meal prepared by RB’s Finger Licken Catering, featuring high‑quality meat generously provided by JM Watkins LLC. The food received rave reviews throughout the night and helped make the event feel as special as the cause it supported. The Lund Fire Fund also extends a special thank‑you to Ryan’s Sport Shop, whose professionalism ensured smooth and compliant firearm registration for all prize winners.

A Message to Those Who Couldn’t Attend
The Lund Fire Fund recognizes that many community members hoped to attend but were unable to secure tickets before the event sold out.

Selling out our first-ever fundraiser is more than a milestone—it is a testament to the strength, unity, and generosity of our community. Funds raised will support essential equipment, advanced training, and critical resources for the all‑volunteer Lund Fire Department, ensuring firefighters can respond safely and effectively when emergencies arise.
