Charity Efforts and Holiday Celebrations

Hello Players, Fans and Friends of the Chicago Gay Hockey Association!

I’m writing to let you know how the CGHA is giving back, as well as how we are doing what we do best, celebrating, this holiday season! The CGHA is proud to announce that for the entire month of December we will be accepting food donations at any of our games or events. As part of a volunteer work, we’re collecting canned goods on behalf of the Greater Chicago Food Depository. To cap off the month of taking food donations, we’re sending 10 of our players to the Food Depository to help out.

Also, you may remember Scott Norton as the player agent who was able to get the Stanley Cup on the CGHA float for Pride. He has been working on an initiative focusing on doing a random nice thing for others on Monday’s; be it a small donation to a charity, helping a neighbor carry something heavy, or anything that you make a conscious effort doing extra to make someones day just a bit easier. If you would like to participate in this, send Randy () a quick e-mail with what you did.

We sincerely hope that everyone has a joyous holiday season, full of love, laughter, good will and HOCKEY!

-Andrew & The CGHA Board
