WHL launches T’s For Toys Campaign to raise funds for children during the holidays
Calgary, Alta. – The Western Hockey League and its 22 member Clubs are proud to launch the inaugural WHL T’s For Toys Campaign. Mascots from across the WHL have united to raise funds throughout Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest United States to ensure as many children as possible receive toys during the holiday season.
The WHL T’s For Toys Campaign will give fans an opportunity to purchase, limited-edition WHL Club T-Shirts featuring WHL Club mascots. In all, there will be 22 unique WHL Club T-Shirts to collect, each featuring a different WHL mascot. This marks the first time the 22 WHL mascots have joined forces to benefit children in their communities.
T-Shirts will be available for purchase online at a cost of $20 (CAD) and available in adult and youth sizes. $7.00 (CAD) from each T-Shirt sold will go directly to a local charity in the home community of the mascot depicted on the T-Shirt purchased.
