Hey guys my friend just sent me an email for some charity thing where Trever Linden will be a host - thought you may be interested

Here's the email:

PuCKS Fundraising Gala

Featured guest ~ Trevor Linden

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 @ 6 PM

Langley Events Center

On November 25, 2009 PuCKS is hosting its 3rd Annual Hockey Heroes Champagne Dinner to raise funds to build “hockey-scholars” of children. Beginning at 6 PM, 500 people will enjoy a champagne reception, lavish plated dinner, silent auction, live auction and a fireside chat with former Vancouver Canuck Trevor Linden hosted by Master of Ceremonies, Craig MacEwen. Other hockey legends are also invited ~ stay tuned.



As a director on the PuCKS board, I would like to formally extend to you an invitation to purchase a ticket or a table for this event or donate a silent auction item.



Tickets: $150 each or $1000 per table of 8 - Tax receipts will be issued for $75 per ticket or $600 per table – http://www.langleytickets.com/pucks.aspx

Purchase a Corporate Sponsorship (see attached) ~ 1st Star Sponsors will enjoy an intimate Pre-Reception Event with Trevor - urquhart.darryl@gmail.com

Donate a Silent Auction Item ~ to get your business involved for as little as $100 - cristine_oleskiw@Vancity.com

The PuCKS Powerplay Foundation (Promoting Community through Kids in Sport™ - charity # 84877 0780 RR0001) offers children in financial need, children at-risk and children of newly re-settled refugee & immigrant families the opportunity to progress in life and school by way of hockey. In invite you to watch the online video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWajVBCfw-E. Currently, 90 marginalized children in Langley are being given this chance. Many of these children are participating in 2-4 hours of hockey and 1-3 hours of “Lit-Fit”™ (homework club & literacy program) each week. PuCKS builds kids’ capacities. The program encourages the development of personal assets for success in school, career and life. It reinforces empowerment ~ discouraging entitlement and learned helplessness. It emphasizes selflessness and a giving-spirit.

To the mod - don't know if I am allowed to put it here - so please delete if so.

thanks.
