The Langley Minor Hockey Association is hosting the 18th Annual Jordan Owens Memorial Initiation Hockey Tournament in March 2018. This tournament is a tribute to the memory of Jordan Owens who passed away on July 8, 1999 after his long battle with cancer. Jordan was a child who enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest, with hockey being his greatest love. In his own way, Jordan showed those watching the game of hockey that there was so much more involved than just winning. He always demonstrated patience, understanding, and the true meaning of team sport.
Over the 18 year history of the tournament, they have proudly raised over $190,000.00 for BC Children’s Hospital.
This year, always thinking outside of the box for fun new ways to get involved, a parent suggested some of the money go towards helping the parents of the kids fighting cancer- so they invited Balding For Dollars to attend a day to raise some awareness and funds!
Balding for Dollars is an event in partnership with the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation to raise funds to support programs that benefit Oncology, Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant patients. The monies raised goes into programs that support our patients’ quality of life while undergoing treatments and the hair donated is used to make wigs for kids. If we can bring a little happiness to them during such a difficult time, it makes everything worth it. The learn more about the amazing programs we provide please go to www.baldingfordollars.com!
We will be setting up a table on the busiest day, Saturday Mar. 24th– where the out of town teams are in house to play the tournament! We will be available for info, to sell some Balding For Dollars merchandise and to collect donations in the morning. Please stop by to say hi, learn more about Balding For Dollars, and to get yourself some swag!
