Sun Life Financial and Kitchener Rangers Launch Annual Kids in Gear Equipment Drive
October 29, 2014 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Kitchener Rangers News Release
Sun Life Financial and the Kitchener Rangers are launching the annual Kids In Gear equipment drive on November 3, with the goal of getting kids into the game we all love! Fans can bring Sun Life Financial Kids In Gear equipment donations to any Kitchener Rangers home game in November.
The Sun Life Financial Kids In Gear program assists with the collection and purchase of hockey equipment for youth who require support in order to play our national game. It's about giving back to the game we all love to play. Proceeds from the program support local minor hockey associations, assisting local families purchase equipment and offsetting the cost of registration. Over the past four seasons, the Kids In Gear program has raised a total of $58,827.10 to bring hockey to deserving families in our region.
With the generous support of the Waterloo Region community, last year's Sun Life Financial Kids In Gear campaign collected $21,500, and together, we helped over 100 local families fulfill their dreams of playing hockey.
We want to make this year our biggest and most successful season yet! The Annual Sun Life Financial Kids In Gear equipment drive kicks off November 3 at sites around Kitchener-Waterloo. Fans can bring new or gently-used gear to any Kitchener Rangers home game in November. The drop-off bin will be set up in the Ottawa/Stirling main lobby to collect donations before the game.
