Good Things Are Happening
| What: | THE HOCKEY PROGRAM AT VIMY RIDGE ACADEMY HOSTS 'CARNIVAL OF CHAMPIONS' TO RAISE MONEY FOR FORMER STUDENT DREW CALVERT Members and alumni from Edmonton's professional sports teams, such as the Oilers and Eskimos, will be on hand to play carnival games, autographs and photos with celebrities will be available, and politicians and others will good-naturedly take pies in the face. There will be a farmer's market, refreshments, and a silent auction featuring incredible items and memorabilia. Graduates from The Hockey Program now playing in the WHL, AJHL, and other junior leagues will make special appearances. |
| When: | Sunday, May 16 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5. |
| Where: | Donnan School, 7803 - 87 Street |
| Why: | Drew Calvert graduated from The Hockey Program in 2008 and was set to begin post-secondary schooling when he was severely injured by a vehicle. 19-year-old Drew now has quadriplegia. This fundraiser will help his family renovate their home to accommodate Drew's unique needs and will also help to fund a specialized vehicle so Drew is able to gain his independence. |
