The Hagen family is one that epitomizes the vision of Dawg Nation. Chris contributes his time in the hockey community, giving back through coaching. They all live their lives to the fullest each and every day. A few years ago, the Hagen’s were blessed with their first child, Wilder. Wilder was born with Cerebral Palsy, and while these fantastic people continue to live their best lives, they will be faced with bills for the foreseeable future. In a Dawg Nation effort, we are hoping to help alleviate some of those short-term hospital bills. As everyone looks back on the families that Dawg Nation has touched, the Hagen’s continue to stand out as one that faces tough times with one of the more positive attitudes.
An absolutely incredible weekend in Steamboat Springs that included a happy hour, a little golf, great hockey, and of course, GIVING BACK! But perhaps the highlight of the weekend was seld hockey legend Declan Farmer. Declan took four year old Wilder Hagen (cerebral palsy) under his wing, sharing some very special moments on the ice before the game.
Of course no Dawg Nation event would be complete without giving back, and this one was no exception. During the second intermission we witnessed an emotional Hagen family accept a check for $20k to offset some of costs related to Wilder’s life with cerebral palsy.
