NEWS: WARRIORS PRESENT BC CANCER FOUNDATION WITH $5100.00 CHEQUE

November 5th, 2020

WEST KELOWNA B.C. – The West Kelowna Warriors Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club and Total Restoration Services teamed up to raise $5,100 for the BC Cancer Foundation. The total money raised came from a combination of the Warriors winning their game Saturday, October 24th for their Breast Cancer Awareness Game and the fact they were about to sell enough pink hoodies.

With the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic the Warriors transitioned to a telethon style format for this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Game. Exclusive hoodies were made available with all profits being donated to the BC Cancer Foundation in Kelowna. Total Restoration Services stepped up, offering to match the funds raised by the Warriors if they could skate away with a victory against the Vernon Vipers. An overtime goal by John Evans gave the Warriors the win and some extra support in surpassing their donation goal of $3,000.

“We are thrilled with the outcome! We set a fundraising goal of $3,000 and with the help of the kind hearts at Total Restoration, we smashed it!” says West Kelowna Warriors President Chris Laurie. “Thank you, once again, to the Warriors fans for stepping up and supporting this initiative.”

“Cancer isn’t slowing down and, thanks to our generous donor community in the Interior, neither is BC Cancer. We want to share our gratitude with the West Kelowna Warriors, Total Restoration Services, and local donors who contributed to this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Game, raising over $5000 for breast cancer research in the Interior,” says Pardeep Khrod, Executive Director in the Interior, BC Cancer Foundation. “Thanks to your support, we can continue to advance vital research and innovate care for breast cancer patients in our community and beyond.”

The Warriors want to thank everyone who participated in the telethon/online event by purchasing a hoodie or making a straight donation. The Warriors would also like to extend their sincerest thanks to the volunteers who operated the phone lines for the event and for Total Restoration for jumping on board.
