Raffle Ticket Fundraising Drive!

All players should have received their raffle tickets and be actively selling them!  We are very grateful to our prize donors, Design Audio Visual, Alpine Bank and Ski Sunlight!  Due to the delay in the opening of the Glenwood Ice Rink, the skate party and drawing had to be rescheduled to December 6, 2008. 

If you have any questions regarding the raffle tickets, please do not hesitate to contact your team manager. 

One player has already sold 50% more tickets than required and donated the extra sales ($100) to the scholarship fund, which was matched by a GRIZZLY parent for a $200 donation to the scholarship fund!
