A TOTAL OF $1,035 was raised for the Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Cheer team during a customer appreciation day and fundraiser hosted by the Duke Boyz on July 15. In addition to hosting rides and food to celebrate three years in business, organizers with the Duke Boyz donated 75 percent of the proceeds from car washes conducted by the cheer team and T-shirt sales as part of the event.
