When I'm not writing stupid jokes, I'm a board member of a charity called the Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation. Two years ago, we lost a player named Jack Kelly to an auto-immune disease, and in his honor we started this charity that helps adult hockey players who have been badly injured or are seriously ill. In less than two years, we've raised over $200,000, and have helped 15 players throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. We're really proud of it- for more info take a look dawgnationhockey.org.
This Saturday night, we're going outside our usual scope and putting on what's called a Teddy Bear Toss at the Denver Cutthroats game against the Allen Americans. We'd love everyone that comes to bring a stuffed animal, and when the Fish score their first goal, all the toys are thrown on the ice. It's really cool- I was lucky enough to be at this game in Rapid City last year when this happened:
Here's the good part- we're selling tickets for only $10, and that includes parking. Plus the Cutthroats will give you a two for one ticket on a future game. If you forget to bring a stuffed animal, one of us handsome devils will be selling them for a small donation at the Dawg Nation table. When they're tossed out on the ice, we'll collect and deliver them to the Denver Santa Claus Shop. That way it will end up with a kid who might not otherwise get a present this year.
Here's the link for the tickets:
This is a terrific cause, plus you get a night of quality professional hockey for only $10. See you there on Saturday night!
