[ RIO RANCHO, N.M.]-The New Mexico Scorpions continued to show their support for local charities with a check donation ceremony today. The Scorpions gave Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central New Mexico, Haven House and S.A.F.E. House checks totaling $12,000.

The proceeds for these great charities were raised from the Scorpions "Salute to the Badges" annual jersey auction this past season. These three charities were hand picked by local law enforcement and fire fighters in the area.

"We appreciate the relationship we have formed with the Scorpions over the past season," said Kerrie Copelin, Marketing Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central New Mexico. "We look forward to continuing to build the partnership between our two organizations.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central New Mexico hosted the event with Haven House and S.A.F.E. in attendance to receive their $4,000 donations as well.

"Being selected by local law enforcement is such an honor," said Joy Tauber, Community Education and Outreach Coordinator of Haven House. "It is very special to have the Scorpions present us this check since we are neighbors. We look forward to continuing to make Rio Rancho a safe community."

"On behalf of S.A.F.E. House and the women and children that live in our home we appreciate the generosity of the Scorpions hockey team," said Crystal Hollon, Community Education Director of S.A.F.E. House.

Over the past year the Scorpions have donated over $100,000 in donations to local and national charities. The New Mexico Scorpions are committed to helping the local community in all ways possible.
