Back in November, we hosted the first Pucks & Paws game, presented by Lagunitas Brewing Co., of the season. While it's a time for fans to bring their furry four-legged friends to the game, it's become so much more. It was a jam-packed few weeks featuring a shelter calendar shoot, a leash and collar drive, and live pet adoptions. Take a closer look at how the hockey team played a starring role in supporting the shelter's mission.
We had the opportunity to work with Cultivating Literacy in August and December to build reading kits for young students. The organization empowers families with young readers by providing materials and support. These kits help students become confident and joyful readers.
Because of your generous donations on our December 8 game, we donated tons of nonperishable food items to PATH's pantry location on 4th Street. The organization's mission is to end homelessness for individuals, families and communities.
We teamed up with the other four California AHL member clubs in collecting items to be donated to those affected by the fires in Los Angeles. During our games on Jan. 10, 25, and 26, we're pledging all of our Chuck-A-Puck earnings to the LAFD Foundation.
Another donation drive in the books (literally)! We received almost 700 books during our first book drive on Saturday, February 8 during our One More Chapter game. We're bringing these books to various organizations around the Bay Area to encourage reading at all ages.
On March 11 and 12, we partnered with Convoy of Hope to help combat hunger in the San Jose area. We packaged 1,500 bags with non-perishable food items. Then, those bags were given out to various organizations in a drive-thru manner at Tech CU Arena.
