KINGS TO HOST
MATT BROWN FUNDRAISER
The South Shore Kings organization will be holding a fund raiser
weekend, to help cover some of the costs associated with Norwood High
School hockey player Matt Brown's rehabilitation. Matt was injured on
Saturday, January 23rd, when he fell into the glass during a game
and broke the C4 and C5 vertebra. Since his injury Matt has undergone
surgery to stabilize those broken bones, the surgery was
succesful.
Matt and his family now have a long road of recovery ahead of them.
This weekend, the South Shore Kings are hoping to raise funds to help
defray some of the costs for Matt and his family.
The Kings will be holding youth events
during their games against
the New York Apple Core on Saturday, at 5:00 PM and on Sunday, at 11:50
AM. Saturday's game will feature a 50/50 raffle and "Noise Night" where
the youth hockey teams that are present will have a chance to win a
practice and a pizza party with the EJHL South Shore Kings team.
The Kings players and organization will also
be selling raffle
tickets with the chance to win great prizes that include 2 tickets to
the Beanpot final, 2 tickets to a Bruins game with a parking pass, and
the grand prize: 4 tickets to the "Boardroom at the Garden", for the
Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs game on March 4th.
The Kings players will be selling raffle
tickets at the Foxboro
Sports Center starting Friday night at 5:00 pm and tickets will be sold
through the end of the Apple Core game, on Sunday. The winners will be
drawn after the Kings vs Apple Core game on Sunday, and they will be
notified by phone.
