Thank you all for
supporting the fourth annual Hockey Fights Cancer (HFC) Day. We have had
an incredible response to date,
raising over $24,000 in online donations alone. Let’s keep the momentum rolling and have a successful day on
Saturday.
Thanks to the generous
donations of many, we have over 50 great prizes to be won. NFL packages, NHL
packages, NBA packages and several other tickets for the top 4 major sports
leagues. We have countless signed jerseys and custom hockey equipment prizes
along with OHL tickets for teams in Southern Ontario. Raffle tickets and 50/50
tickets will be available for purchase on Saturday at the event.
This year, we have a
new partnership with Free Sport for Growth. "Free Sport for
Growth" is all about giving children the opportunity to enjoy sports
without any cost or hassle. They provide free sports equipment and access to
local park activities, where kids can have fun, make friends, and learn new
skills. We encourage everyone to bring any used sporting equipment to the
WGSC on Saturday to donate to this wonderful charity. They will have a
table setup to collect donations of any used equipment that you are willing to donate.
To honour John Paul (JP) Glaves we will be doing a ceremonial puck drop at the U12 MD/BB game that
is scheduled for 3:00 pm on Rink #1. We encourage anyone who is available to
show their support to the family and team. Let’s fill the rink with our lavender
99ers jerseys!!!
Thanks again and we
are looking forward to seeing you and your families for a day of fun.
