Park Derochie has been a proud supporter of Sport Central since 2009, donating over $65,000 from proceeds of the Merle Derochie Invitational Golf Tournament. With matching donations from Park Derochie and personal donations in excess of $9,000 from our employees, total donations currently exceed $134,000. Thank you for helping Sport Central provide sports equipment to over 125,000 low-income kids who would otherwise be denied the opportunity to participate in the sports they love. Due to the number of children affected by the Fort McMurray fire, Alberta's economic slow-down, and the influx of Syrian refugees Sport Central has an increase in the number of requests. This means they need our help more than ever.
Four Edmonton schools were selected as part of the Hockey Helps Kids Charity Cup Challenge and each paired-up with a player from the Oilers. They then choose a charity that they would like to support. These teams are now in competition for fan votes. The team with the most votes by February 16th will receive a $25,000 prize.
Vote daily between January 17 - February 16, on every device that you own.
