Moncton Wildcats News Release
Wildtown goes Pink in the Rink:
For the second straight year Rallye Motors is sponsoring Pink in the Rink and this year they're offering a chance to win a big prize, on both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Make a donation at the Rallye Motors display on the mezzanine and fill out a ballot - you could be a winner. The prize, let's just say it has four wheels and burns gas.
In addition, the Pink jerseys worn and signed by the players will be auctioned off. All proceeds to the Atlantic Division of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Over $5300.00 was raised last year and we're out to beat that total.
