Amarillo Wranglers News Release


Amarillo, TX - The Amarillo Wranglers were busy on and off the ice in December, giving back to the community through multiple efforts to spread joy and cheer to all during the holidays.

The Wranglers began the month on the road, but returned for the second half of the month with five home games to close out the 2024 calendar year. On December 20th and 21st, the Wranglers hosted their annual 'Weekend of Giving' at the Budweiser Bull Pen in partnership with Jason Chafe State Farm. On the 20th, after the Wranglers first goal, scored by Carl Jacobson 6:37 into the first period, fans threw hats and gloves onto the ice to donate to the Salvation Army. Earlier in the week the Wranglers went out around town ringing the bell for the Salvation Army helping collect more donations.

The Wranglers held their annual Teddy Bear Toss game on December 21st, where fans threw Teddy Bears and stuffed animals on the ice to benefit kids at Family Support Services counseling just 28 seconds into the game after Sal Cerrato scored the Wranglers first goal. Since then, the Wranglers had been busy delivering the bears to various other charities in the region as well.

"Family Support Services sends a BIG THANKS to the Amarillo Wranglers for their donation of stuffed animals for our young counseling clients," said a representative from Family Support Services. "Everyone needs a little friend to hold on to during therapy!"

Along with sending some of the many stuffed animals to FSS, the Wranglers also gave a share of the donations to kids at Panhandle Orphan Care Network, The Bridge, and the Ronald McDonald House of Amarillo. Wranglers players and staff helped with the delivery of the stuffed animals to the charities.
