Arizona Sundogs News Release
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - The Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League, in response to the need in local area schools, donated $3,000 and hundreds of dollars in school supplies to the Chino Valley, Humboldt and Prescott Unified School Districts in the month of September.
"Humboldt Unified School District is grateful to the Arizona Sundogs for their generous donation of $1000," said HUSD Director of Public Relations Mariela Bean. "This display is a wonderful example of the organization's tremendous support of our students. The Sundogs are always eager to volunteer their time and good will on behalf of our youth."
Sundogs fans, in response to a call to action by the team in mid-August, donated school supplies to be used by local school districts and their students. Among the donated supplies were spiral notebooks, 3-ring binders and subject dividers, colored pencils, markers and blue and black pens.
"It's clear that Sundogs fans care about their community and take every opportunity to give back," noted Arizona Sundogs Director of Business Operations Bill Yates. "We called on them and they responded. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their help in supporting the schools that play such an important role in the lives of the children that call Northern Arizona home."
Throughout the month of September, Sundogs players and team mascot Burnie visited schools and presented each district with $1,000 and a portion of school supplies collected and purchased by the Arizona Sundogs Foundation.
