Get your socks off.. and throw them on the ice!
From United Way Central Alberta
Saturday is Sockey Night in Red Deer!
United Way Central Alberta is pleased to announce the TENTH ANNUAL Sockey Night in Red Deer in partnership with the Red Deer Rebels –Saturday, October 20 beginning 7pm at the ENMAX Centrium.
For weeks United Way has been collecting socks, largely donated by chiropractors in Red Deer, to support a great cause this winter: warm feet for all! This event brings together sports fans of all ages to share in the fun by throwing socks on the ice during the second intermission.
Sports fans can bring new pairs of socks or purchase them at the game for a chance to win prizes. All proceeds from sock sales go to United Way for investment in more than 40 community programs and services across Central Alberta.
“This is a great event for our community to come together to help keep people warm through our cold Alberta winter” said Linda Wilson, Co-Chair for United Way Central Alberta.“This will be the 10th year Red Deer Rebels and United Way have partnered for ‘Sockey Night in Red Deer’ to raise funds for the United Way campaign as well as donating such a simpleitem ~ socks, which can have such a huge impact on some of our agencies’ clients.”
On Monday, October 22, socks will go out for delivery to several of our partner agencies who will make sure they get onto the feet of those who need them most.
