JOSH GORGES 4 ON 4 THANK YOU

CLUBHOUSE CHILDCARE CENTER

Thank you to all our generous sponsors, donors, participants and over 170 volunteers who helped make the Josh Gorges 4 on 4 Street Hockey Tournament such a success. We were so excited about this event and extremely grateful for the community’s response to Josh’s invitation. Of course we couldn’t be prouder to call Josh one of our own St. Joseph’s Alumni. His leadership and willingness in giving back to his old school are an inspiration to all… literally an “old school” desperately looking forward to being rebuilt! We are so grateful to Josh, his NHL friends and elite hockey player guests who gave of their time and talent to create such a memorable day for all who attended. A fantastic day was had by all those playing street hockey, the cheering fans and those enjoying the family fun centre. We are grateful to the media who helped us spread the word that we have a new St. Joseph Elementary School. We are actively inviting and welcoming new students to attend our new school and new families to be part of our community. All of our com-munity deserves the chance for a new experience at St. Joseph Elementary. The generousity of this community has helped us raise 74% of the 4.8-million-dollar goal. We are working hard to raise the last $1.3 million. This event surpassed our expectations we can’t wait to announce the proceeds of the Josh Gorges 4X4 Street hockey tournament. Watch for it in next week’s bulletin.
