From the Battle Axes:
The upcoming Alisha Wei88man Memorial Tournament is scheduled for the weekend of March 21-23. Its inaugural year was in March 2013, and through countless favors and tireless volunteers, the Danbury Battle Axes women's recreational ice hockey team were able to donate $3000 to the Tuft's University Travis Fund for Needy Animals (which helps bring financial assistance to found animals and helps responsible owners cover the cost of unanticipated veterinary needs) and $675 to the Danbury Animal Welfare Society in memory of their friend, Alisha Weissman.
Sadly, Alisha died as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on January 24, 2012 . Although Alisha was just 39 years old, she had beaten breast cancer, was a well-respected veterinarian and a beloved teammate on the Danbury Battle Axes. She was such an inspirational and remarkable young woman that the Battle Axes retired her number (#88) and started the Alisha Wei88man Memorial Tournament in her honor.
This year, the Battle Axes hope to raise even more money through raffles, silent auctions, and t-shirt sales. They will be at the Whalers game Friday March 21, cheering them on and fundraising for the AW88 Tournament. The Battle Axes have acquired some great raffle prizes and silent auction items including signed pucks from Olympic Silver Medalists Meghan Duggan and Julie Chu accompanied by pictures of them, a jersey and a puck signed by Stanley Cup winner Adam Graves of the Rangers, a Jeremy Roenick signed puck, a Dougie Hamilton signed puck from the Bruins, and lots more!!!
Please be generous with your support for the Alisha Wei88man Memorial Tournament.
