October Saves!

This October our goaltenders are participating in October Saves, and they can use your help!

October Saves is a goalie-focused charity effort to raise donations for cancer research, care and treatment during October as part of the breast cancer awareness movement. It started small and locally in Ashburn 11 years ago – and now raises hundreds of thousands per year, going to places like Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, INOVA Schar Cancer Institute and many other smaller organizations that can get overlooked.

Participating goalies can collect per save pledges per save, or lump donations. For these efforts they can earn prizes and in the past the Caps goalies have done something for the goalies with the most donations in the DMV.

To donate/pledge, The Ice Dogs team page is here:
https://charity.pledgeit.org/OctoberSavesHockey/teams/@NOVA-Ice-Dogs

From there you can donate to the Ice Dogs team at large, or find your favorite tendy and apply your donations to their collection.

October Saves is a registered charity, so if your employer does any charitable donation matching they may be eligible for a match.

Lastly, this isn’t limited to the kids – any goalie can participate in October Saves. The more, the better for a good cause! Want to join the team? If so, you’ll need to:
