Shaw Communications and the B.C. Hockey League are committed to supporting its member communities, so the two are making it easy to support local charities that are making a difference for children and youth in those communities.
In partnership with Shaw, all 17 Canadian BCHL teams have partnered up with a local charity of their choice to raise funds that will support children and youth in their community. Shaw, the BCHL and the 17 participating teams are inviting residents to text to donate $10 to support a local charity making our communities brighter.
Shaw will match all text-to-donate contributions dollar-for-dollar, doubling the amount raised for each local charity to a maximum of $3,000 per charity for eligible charities only until May 31.
The Vernon Vipers have teamed up with the Kalamalka Starfish Society.
