Coming To Blueland? Don’t Forget The Toys For Tots
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Atlanta Thrashers and Hawks have teamed up with Kia Motors and the United States Marine Corps to help children in need have very merry and wonderful holiday season.
Starting today and continuing through the 21st, fans will be given the opportunity to do our part by donating new and unwrapped gifts for children at any metro Kia dealerships and at Philips Arena. Fans that donate will receive a voucher good for two tickets to Hawks or Thrashers games, (limit one voucher per person).
Toys will be collected at the Marta, CNN, Centennial Olympic Park Drive and First Horizon Entrances for the following Thrashers and Hawks games:
Thrashers:
Friday Dec. 12 vs. Boston Bruins
Thursday Dec. 18 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
Saturday Dec. 20 vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
Hawks:
Saturday Dec 13 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Monday Dec. 15 vs. Charlotte Bobcats
Wednesday Dec. 17 vs. Boston Celtics
Please give great consideration for those less fortunate as you enter Blueland gang…and that goes for you Bruins, Pens and Bolts fans, too!
Also, please remember to keep a handful of change and dollar bills with you as you enter the stores for those ringing the bell for The Salvation Army…yet another wonderful organization. Those in need are with us year-round.
If you know of another worthy cause, please feel free to share them with us.
Thrashers Make A Great Road Trip
Monday a few of our Atlanta Thrashers made a special holiday visit to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, Hughes Spalding and Scottish Rite. Several players along with Thrash delivered Thrashers teddy bears, other gifts, signed autographs and brought many smiles to these beautiful kids!
Great job guys! I know that these children had a wonderful time and will always remember you for the time given them.
