Okotoks Oilers Pee Wee Black Nominated for Good Deeds
Our team has been selected as one of ten semi-finalists in the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup and is the only team from Alberta! We hope to spread the word as much as possible, along with the link to view our video. Each view counts as a vote for our team. I am including our story below, along with the link to our video. Is it possible to put this on the SCAHL website? We appreciate the support!
As part of player development, the team wanted to give back to the community in the form of volunteerism and citizenship. In December, the team held a bottle drive in the Okotoks community to raise funds necessary to make 300 lunches and donate these to the Calgary Mustard Seed (the number of lunches served daily). Okotoks Sobeys generously provided a discount on the necessary food and supplies. The boys made sandwiches and assembled the lunches (with guidance from team parents) and delivered them to the Mustard Seed along with an additional cheque for $800 - the remaining funds earned during the bottle drive.
Along with the community volunteerism, the team entered the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup competition. This initiative encourages Pee Wee level teams across Canada to ‘win off the ice’ by helping make their community a better place. The Okotoks Oilers Pee Wee AA Black was selected as one of ten semi-finalists from across Canada, and is the only team from Alberta to reach the semi-finals. As a semi-finalist, the team receives a $2000 donation to a charity of their choice (The Mustard Seed) and each team member receives a gift package of Hockey Canada and Chevrolet branded items.
The team is asking for your support to help them become a top three finalist and bring the ‘Good Deeds Cup’ to Alberta and the town of Okotoks. If successful, the teams’ charity can receive up to $15,000! Voting occurs from 12:00:01 AM on Monday, January 15th to 11:59:59 PM on Sunday, January 28th. Votes are counted by number of video views on Chevrolet Canada’s YouTube Channel. Each view counts as a vote for our team, so please watch often!
