Inspiring Every Kid and Every Community’s passion for hockey.

Comedy Night raises $24,000 for the Hockey Alberta Foundation

RED DEER – The Piper Creek Optimist Club and the Hockey Alberta Foundation came together to raise $24,000 during Comedy Night at Bo’s Bar and Stage on February 24.

Guests were treated to a performance from comedian Kelly Taylor and witnessed the Calgary Flames defeat the Edmonton Oilers 6-3 in the third iteration of the Battle of Alberta.

“Thanks to the Piper Creek Optimist Club for choosing the Hockey Alberta Foundation as their charity of choice for the seventh year,” said Darcy Smith, Hockey Alberta’s Manager of Hockey Alberta Foundation and Recruitment. “The Every Kid Every Community initiative and the game of hockey is a great way for kids to be active, healthy and surrounded by positive leaders in their respective communities. We couldn’t give kids the opportunity to experience hockey without events such as Comedy Night and the help of our great sponsors.”

Every Kid Every Community  was launched in 2011 and has the goal of providing every child in Alberta the opportunity to play hockey, have fun and, in many cases, experience the sport for the first time.

Thank you to the Comedy Night sponsors for the continued support:
