Victoria HabourCats News Release
VICTORIA, B.C. - It is that time of year again, even without a season, when the Victoria HarbourCats do their part to support the local community and with the help of the Knights of Columbus Council 13356, from St. Joseph The Worker, the HarbourCats will be holding their annual SOCK TOSS for Anawim House on Thursday July 15, from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
WHAT: Anawim House Sock Toss
WHEN: Thursday, July 15, 11:00am to 4:00pm
WHERE: Wilson's Group Stadium at Royal Athletic Park, 1014 Caledonia Ave. (outside home plate gate)
WHY: Donate socks and raise funds for Anawim House residents and programs
Normally an event held during a HarbourCats game, this year's event, as it was last year, will be held just outside the home plate gates of Wilson's Group Stadium at Royal Athletic Park, along Caledonia Avenue, where fans will be able to toss new or used/laundered socks over the fence of the stadium toward numbered prize buckets, with the socks going to use with Anawim's programs. People can also make cash donations that day to Anawim's efforts.
Last year's event raised over $650.00 for Anawim House and resulted in 400 pairs of socks being donated and the HarbourCats, Anawim House and the Knights of Columbus hope to exceed those totals this year.
"Anawim is truly a leader in the North Park neighbourhood and we are proud to be their neighbours and to work so closely with them," said Jim Swanson, Managing Partner of the HarbourCats. "The people who run Anawim, they get it. They see the needs, and they work to address them. We are sad that we can't be doing this event in the park again this year, but last year's event, in the middle of a pandemic, was amazing and we hope to top those efforts this year."
Fans can bring their own used or new socks to toss, but socks will also be available for purchase at the booth on the day, with all proceeds going to Anawim House. Prizes available will include, but not be limited to HarbourCats tickets and merchandise, golf passes to local courses, gift cards from local businesses and other items donated by the community.
The HarbourCats, Knights of Columbus and Anawim House challenge everyone to make time on Thursday, July 15, to come to Wilson's Group Stadium and throw socks over the fence and support a great cause!
