Congratulations to our Group of the Month for October 2022 – Buck-a-Puck for ALS
We are a team of 13-year-old hockey players from Toronto and we recently lost our hockey coach to ALS. ALS is a terminal disease which takes away a person’s ability to talk, walk and eventually breathe. Despite the challenges Coach Steve faced, he continued to coach us – using a text-to-speech app when he lost his voice and working the gate after he lost his ability to skate. Coach Steve was living proof of all the lessons he taught us through hockey: be bold and brave, keep moving, and never stop fighting. To honour our coach and help find a cure, we created a fundraiser called “Buck-a-Puck for ALS.” Our goal is to raise $1 Million Dollars for ALS research and care in Canada!

Buck-a-Puck for ALS is a nation-wide, hockey-themed fundraiser that raises money in a fun, active and competitive way! Participants are required to shoot a hockey puck for every dollar they raise. Prizes will be given to the participants and teams who raise the most money (and shoot the most pucks!). Some prizes include a coaching session with the Toronto Maple Leaf’s defence coach, a 3 day canoe trip, a $1000 Rec Room experience, a signed Mitch Marner jersey, a PS5 console, an iPhone 13 and more! 100% of the money raised will be donated to the Stevie Fever for ALS Foundation in partnership with the ALS Society of Canada.
