Gwinnett Gladiators Pink in the Rink
The Sport of Giving joined with the Gwinnett Gladiators for the fifth time for the annual PI7K I7 THE RI7K weekend to raise money and awareness for cancer. Melissa 7guyen, Event Coordinator, rallied TSOG venues, past beneficiaries, sponsors, board members, neighbors and friends to buy ticket vouchers to see The Gladiators compete on pink ice over three days in March. 645 ticket vouchers were sold that included several groups whose names appeared in honor or in memory on the Gladiator video board. The Sport of Giving was the #1 selling charity organization earning the highest percentage of additional funds from The Gladiators Commemorative Jersey & Stick Auction and 50/50 Raffle held during the three games played. Funds raised during this great event allowed The Sport of Giving donate over $9,000 directly to women’s cancer initiatives in our community where we can see the difference—providing cancer care and prevention. The Sport of Giving is grateful for our wonderful community of support that enabled such success! Mark your calendar for this year’s Pink in the Rink event to be held February 15, 16, and 17! There is a voucher with your name on it!
