Niagara, ON – Niagara IceDogs, Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR), and Special Olympics Ontario team up to raise funds and awareness for individuals with an intellectual disability.
The Niagara IceDogs, LETR, Special Olympics Ontario, and Niagara Regional Police are teaming up to raise awareness about the importance of individuals with an intellectual disability during an upcoming Niagara IceDogs home game.
The Niagara IceDogs game on Nov 17th, 7:00 PM at the Meridian Centre will feature:
- A LETR/Special Olympics Ontario-run kiosk so fans can learn more about Special Olympics Ontario, Public address announcements about Special Olympics Ontario, ‘Pass the Bucket’ donation collection, and ceremonial puck drop to start the game.
The awareness campaign is part of the ongoing commitment by the Ontario Hockey League, Niagara IceDogs, and LETR/Special Olympics Ontario to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics Ontario.
“Special Olympics Ontario (SOO) thanks the Niagara Ice Dogs and the Niagara Regional Police Service for their ongoing support of the movement. Since 2007, teams across the Ontario Hockey League have supported SOO with OHL Big Ticket Games which provide much needed funds and awareness to 26,000 athletes living in Ontario with intellectual disabilities. Together, we champion inclusion, acceptance and offer opportunities to many athletes in the Region to participate and thrive in sport” said Glenn MacDonell, President and CEO – Special Olympics Ontario.
“We are thrilled to once again partner with Special Olympics Ontario and raise funds and awareness for a great cause. This year, we are also incorporating Special Olympics Ontario into some of our school visits. Special Olympics Ontario has a very strong School Programs initiative that caters to all ages and a wide range of abilities so we are very happy to be part of it,” said Raiven de Souza, Game Day & Office Manager of the Niagara IceDogs.
Tickets for the game are still available, starting from $15.00.
