Victoria, BC - The Victoria Royals are proud to announce that during the 2015-16 Western Hockey League (WHL) season the team helped raise over $350,000 for local organizations and charitable causes through a variety of promotions and initiatives.
In their five seasons on Vancouver Island, the Royals have helped raise over $1,800,000 in charitable contributions.
The Royals' annual Pink in the Rink game in February of this year was once again a success, as the club, fans and sponsors combined to raise more than $20,000 in support of the BC Cancer Foundation.
In December, the team's annual Teddy Bear Toss Night saw over $16,000 worth of stuffed toys donated to a variety of local charities including: The Victoria General Hospital, the Salvation Army, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, Single Parent Resource Centre and the Victoria Women's Transition House.
This past season through a partnership with Investors Group, $10 from every home goal scored by the Royals was donated by Investor's Group to Mustard Seed Victoria.
The 2015-16 season raised more than $229,000 through 50/50 and Chuck-A-Puck sales at Royals' home games, with proceeds going to minor hockey associations and other local charities in the Greater Victoria region.
Direct donations of tickets, suites, merchandise and ticket-based fundraising initiatives added up to over $48,000 and benefitted various organizations and associations in the Capital Region.
