Manitoba Moose Sports Carnival Raises Close to $30,000

March 8, 2004 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Manitoba Moose News Release


The Manitoba Moose announced that the Yearling Foundation raised over $27,000 during the Sports Carnival '04.

The Winnipeg Arena was jam-packed with over 4,500 fans young and old playing interactive games, bidding on assorted hockey items (including the highest bid of a $240 for an autographed Tampa Bay Lightning helmet), meeting and greeting the present Manitoba Moose players.

The strong turnout assisted in raising the tremendous amount for the Manitoba Moose Yearling Foundation. Executive Director of the Yearling Foundation Kelly McArthur stated, "The Foundation wishes to thank all who attended the Sports Carnival this year. The Moose organization extends tremendous gratitude to everyone who assisted in the organization of this year's Sports Carnival and for all those who came out to support such a worthwhile cause!"

During the Manitoba Moose Sports Carnival '04, the players helped by signing autographs and being involved in interactive booths throughout the event. As well, the mystery prize boxes sold out in a record time of just over an hour.

The Yearling Foundation is well on their way to their goal of raising $100,000 for registered children's charities throughout Manitoba and have planned another event in March. The Manitoba Moose Yearling Foundation Dinner in support of the Manitoba Special Olympics will take place on Tuesday, March 30 at the Canad Inns Polo Park. Tickets are now available by calling the Special Olympics office at 926-8354.
