Families can expect a fun night of hockey Thursday, Jan. 21 for the CFCW Charity Hockey game intended to raise money for the Ponoka Elementary School (PES) playground.
Organizers Jen Bartley and Layna Palecheck provided an update to the fundraiser, which will bring fun games over the course of the evening. “During the first intermission anyone who purchases a special $5 airplane paper will have the chance to launch their creation towards centre ice,” they explained in an email.
The person closest to centre ice will win $200. Also every ticket holder will be entered into a draw for a chance to participate in the Shoppers Drug Mart $500 Shoot To Win. One lucky winner will get the chance to shoot from centre ice for the $500 cash prize.
“Proceeds from this event will support the PES Playground Project, which is raising funds to build the first fully accessible playground in the community,” adds the email.
Taking on the CFCW Critters’ team is a group of dedicated Ponoka folks:
Trevor Feragen, Bruce Harbin, Dave Parker, Jason Sale, Brett Cissell, Nathan McEntee, Shaun Lawrence, Hugh Green, Chris Palechek, Mike Heidt, Mark Prefontaine, Rick Wilkins, Mike Dillen, Terry Owen and Justin Ronnie.
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart or ATB Financial or from Bartley at 403-704-0914 and Palechek at 403-785-7776.
