🏒 We are excited to invite you to the Surrey Ea

🏒 We are excited to invite you to the Surrey Eagles and Vancouver Canucks Alumni Charity Game on Saturday, March 22nd at 6:30 PM at the South Surrey Arena! This special event aims to raise $23,000 for the Surrey Eagles' "Birds and Buddies" Community Initiative, which pairs Eagles players with students facing social and emotional challenges, fostering mentorship and confidence. This community event will be the first of its kind in Surrey, bringing together hockey players and hockey fans of all ages for a night filled with activities and a great game of hockey! 🥅

This event will not only showcase thrilling hockey action, but it will also highlight the Surrey Eagles’ recently launched "Birds and Buddies" program. Fans can look forward to a thrilling inter-squad game featuring a split of Surrey Eagles Fred Page Cup Champions, Surrey Eagles coaching staff and the Vancouver Canucks Alumni. Additionally, to enhance the excitement, the event will feature a mini skills competition, and outdoor activities before the puck drops.

🎫 $20/ticket, with proceeds supporting Surrey Eagles’ recently launched "Birds and Buddies" program. You can find the link to the tickets in our Linkinbio 🕺

"Coming out of Covid we have had an major increase

"Coming out of Covid we have had an major increase in residents who are experiencing loneliness and isolation from the community they once knew. One of our resident saw his friends becoming more withdrawn from group activities and wanted to do something about it. He worked with our recreation department and created a singalong group that meets once a week to sing songs and create connections with their peers they would of otherwise never had. It has been a resounding success and has shown great improvement in our residents mental health. Residents share their favorite songs, they have created themed singalongs and have a weekly activity they look forward to. Discovering the Spotify lyrics option has opened a whole new world for them as they no longer require print out books to follow along with their favorite songs. We couldn't have this wonderful program without Heart for Music providing the much needed resources of speakers, tablets and headphones. We are forever grateful for their generosity and assistance in bringing such a valuable resource of music to our facility."

We are honoured and excited to have provided a Mob

We are honoured and excited to have provided a Mobile Pony Van for @greenacrestherapyhorses_ ! GATH brings miniature therapy horse visits, education, and entertainment to people of all ages.

"The generous gift of the van from RHF is a dream come true for us at GATH. In Europe, horse boxes and vans are quite popular, and this van will enable us to reach more densely populated areas where parking a truck and trailer can be challenging. Additionally, the van provides a safer environment for transporting our precious cargo. Its design allows for access on all three sides, creating a more inviting space for the horses and enhancing their comfort. We are forever grateful to the wonderful team (Alethea)at Rick's Heart Foundation and the incredible Rick himself for believing in these little joy bringers and the positive impact they can have on our local communities. Just seeing this pink pony van brings smiles to people's faces. We love it so much! A special shout-out our Parents Dale, Cathy & Gary Green for their unwavering support emotionally & financially also to Kevan and Lexy Garecki at Maneframe for the beautiful photos of Tinks and Magic that grace the sides of our Pink Precious “Cargo” “Mini-Van” Dreams can become reality if you never give up!!!" ~ Pamela & Jacqueline
