Pucks Against Poverty

Yes, if you didn’t know Pucks Against Poverty is a year long campaign, that started in April, to put issues of poverty in the forefront of our community. So, check back soon because there is more to come…

Thank you!

The Pucks Against Poverty Face Off was a great success!
It was a great event!
We had rough count of about 300 people who showed up.
The news media showed up, provided great coverage and we received pretty good supporting coverage overall.

I have attached a few links:
