EXCITING NEWS
December 17- Today Maritime NHL’ers for Kids announced a donation of $30,000 to Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities throughout Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunswick.
The precarious impacts of COVID-19 prevented the Tournament from being staged this past July in PEI. Nevertheless, Scotiabank and the local Canadian Tire dealers, the Event's Co-Presenting Sponsors, repurposed their partnership investments into donations, making this contribution to Jumpstart possible.
2020 marks the sixth year that Maritime NHL'ers for Kids has made a donation to Jumpstart chapters in the Maritimes, bringing the 6 year total to $235,000. The monies donated by Maritime NHL'ers for Kids are earmarked solely for financial awards to deserving young boys and girls in the Maritimes. By doing so, families are assisted with the financial burdens that prevent young hockey players from pursuing their hockey dreams.
RICK BOWNESS
NHL record-setting coach and Event Co-Founder, Rick said, "This donation, made possible by the steadfast allegiance of the Canadian Tire dealers and Scotiabank, will help ease the financial and social burdens preventing young buys and girls from pursuing their hockey dreams in NS-NB-PEI".
SCOTT FRASER
President of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, Scott said, "Jumpstart welcomes this local contribution from Maritime NHL'ers and looks forward to the positive impact it will have throughout the Maritimes, enabling kids to get back to being kids, taking part in the joy of sport and play".
