"We are honored to have been asked to participate in this event," said Solar Bears Managing Partner Jason Siegel. "I know our Coach and players are looking forward to lending a helping hand. We are excited to work side-by-side with all of the volunteers that are coming out this Saturday."

"When you put Feeding Children Everywhere's 'Love Local' program in the hands of some pro hockey players, families, and members of the Central Florida community, hunger doesn't have a chance," said Feeding Children Everywhere founder Don Campbell.
