The
Jack McGee Kawartha Komets exceeded
their goal of $10,000 in their
recent MISSION to MICHIGAN game with
the Peterborough Petes on December
8th.
The
funds were raised by our players seeking donations from family and friends,
canvassing at local business establishments and by the Peterborough Paramedics passing buckets amongst the crowd at the
Komets’ game with the Petes.
Over $13,000 was raised to help send the
Komets players to their Special Hockey
Tournament in Fraser, Michigan, May 1st – 4th, 2014.
The
first $1,000 raised was presented to
Team 55 Let’s Tackle Suicide Awareness to
support their much-needed programs.
It
is estimated that it will cost approximately $30,000 to cover the expenses to
send the teams to the tournament.
Other fundraising events are planned for the new year and donations are being sought from local businesses.
The
Jack McGee Kawartha Komet Special Needs
Hockey Program is in its 5th season of play with 4 teams and 60 players.
Co-founders
Carol and David Fisher, the Board of Directors, coaches, volunteers and players
thank all those who made this fundraising game a huge success. Special thanks to the Peterborough Petes organization for making this game an experience
that our players will never forget.
