Mallards Team with Area Schools, Harris Pizza for Anti-Bullying Campaign
November 20, 2014 - ECHL (ECHL)
Quad City Mallards News Release
MOLINE, Ill. (November 20, 2014) - The Quad City Mallards have teamed with Harris Pizza to launch the SCORE anti- bullying program for area schools, the Mallards announced today.
Mallards players and staff will introduce the program at Quad Cities area elementary schools, emphasizing the importance of the fight against bullying . Students taking part in the campaign will sign an anti- bullying oath, pledging not only to refrain from bullying others but also to report bullying if they witness it.
"We're very happy to have the opportunity to partner with Harris Pizza on such a valuable initiative," said Mallards president Bob McNamara. "We look forward to working with Quad Cities area schools to combat bullying and insure a healthy and supportive school environment for students."
All students who sign the anti- bullying pledge or display characteristics key to combatting bullying will receive a free ticket to the Mallards' Saturday, March 7 home game.
"Fighting bullying is important in so many ways to all of us," said Harris Pizza owner Ryan Mosley. "Bullying can not only threaten students physically and emotionally but can also negatively affect their ability to learn. By working to address bullying or prevent it before it starts and offering support to children in school we can create a safer environment for our kids."
Teachers, parents or administrators interested in bringing the SCORE program- which has already been launched at several area schools- to their school can contact the Mallards' Tyler Gilles at 309-277-1304 or tgilles@myqcmallards.com for more information.
