Students at the Ponoka Elementary School (PES) will be pleased to hear about a fun hockey fundraiser that will help get organizers that much closer to a new playground.
With help from 840 CFCW radio station, a fundraiser has been set for Thursday, Jan. 21 at the Ponoka Culture and Recreation Complex and the hockey game is expected to bring money and a fun night for families, says organizer Jennifer Bartley.
The event will bring the CFCW team against the PES All stars in a game that will be more fun than heated competition. Bartley said the game, which starts at 6:30 p.m., will have all the fun aspects of a hockey game, including a few fake fights. She says it is more of an interactive experience with the goals of raising as much money as possible for the PES playground project.
“It’s going to be an excellent evening for everybody,” said Bartley.
Money raised from the CFCW Critters fundraising events ranges from $6,000 to $11,000 and Bartley said they are planning to have 50/50 tickets, raffle items and other fundraising initiatives.
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased from Bartley at 403-704-0914 or Layna Palechek at 403-785-7776.
