RMHC also awards grants to other nonprofit children's organizations that positively impact the health and well being of children around the world.

As fans enter the game, all kids 12 and under will receive a FREE coupon for a McDonald's Happy Meal, which will be redeemable at any of the McDonald's in Southwest Michigan. The first 2,000 fans into Wings Stadium will also receive a commemorative Golden Ice rally towel courtesy of McDonald's.

Also during the first period intermission, Woody Houston from WIN 98.5 FM will announce a winner for a trip to Orlando, Florida.

Known for their colored-ice games, the K-Wings are slated to play on four colored-ice games during the 2008-09 season. Besides Golden Ice, the K-Wings already have their traditional Orange, Pink and Green Ice Games.

Being a premium night, tickets for Golden Ice Game will range from $15.90-$7.90. Tickets purchased on game night will increase by one dollar.
