ODESSA -- The Odessa Jackalopes will be donating a 100 percent of ticket revenue from their next 2 games to the victims of Thursday's Midland train tragedy and their families.

    Odessa Jackalopes management has announced all of the ticket revenue from their games against the Amarillo Bulls on November 23rd and November 24th will go to the Complex Community Federal Credit Union relief fund, which will benefit victims of the crash and their families.

    Odessa Jacaklopes Team President Dan Lavergne says that while money can never mend the affected families -- or overcome the tragic loss of these American heroes -- he hopes it will help in some small way.

    "I've been in this community for 15 years," Lavergne told Big 2. "It's a very strong, closely knit-community. This is home to me now and I've got so many friends and family here and I just wanted to do everything I could to help people out."
