Hockey Marathon of Hope 2021

Two separate organizations coming together for a common purpose...

IMANI ORPHAN CARE

Imani Orphan Care is a Canadian non-profit organization that supports children and families in need in Kenya. These precious children that Imani Orphan Care helps to support were abandoned by their families, orphaned, or rescued from the streets and from unhealthy situations. Imani Orphan Care supports these kids with donations and sponsorship to help pay for their food, education, healthcare, and spiritual instruction.

DOING FAMILY RIGHT

DFR is uniquely equipped to encourage marriages and give parents tools they need to pass on their faith and values to their children. DFR was started by our president and director Dr. Dave Currie, who has been a pastor and counselor for over 35 years. His heart and passion are to see lives and marriages changed for God’s glory.

Each player’s goal is to blow past the minimum of $300/player raised. We ask that you be willing to donate $200 yourself in order to best support our ministries. In the past individual players have raised as much as $8,100!! Remember all funds go to Imani Orphan Care and Doing Family Right…the more funds you raise, the more we can help these two foundations!

Register today to begin fundraising!

• Can I play on the same team as a friend?
  
  Totally! You are allowed to request up to 2 friends to play together and we’ll work hard to make that happen if possible.
  
  
  
• Is there an age limit?
  
  Age 16 with the ability to skate with men.
  
  
  
• Do we keep score?
  
  Yes. Team stats and individual stats will be kept. So, games won, goals against, and goals and assists will be tallied with prizes will be given out to the marathon winners at the closing Gourmet Banquet.
  
  
• Are there prizes?
  
  Yes. Prizes are awarded for the top 7 fundraisers! That’s why we do the event. Beyond that, hockey prizes are awarded for top individual point-getter, top goalie, shoot out champ, radar slap shot, most improved player and early registration draw. Some of the prizes in the past have included NHL jerseys, hockey tickets, sticks, videos and paintings. Also, everyone will leave with a complimentary gift pack at the end of the Banquet.
  
  
• Where does the money raised in the marathon go?
  
  The money raised in the marathon will go toward the valuable work of Doing Family Right and Imani Orphan Care….two local organizations that are focused on bringing HOPE to families and kids. All sponsors of the marathon will be issued a tax receipt for donations of $50 or more from our parent organization: The Great Commission Foundation.
  
  
  
• How does a hockey player raise $750?

Since we ask that you donate $200 yourself, you will only have $550 more to raise. That breaks down to getting 11 people to sponsor you for $50 to reach the minimum. But don’t stop there; keep it going to create a bigger influence and get a shot at the prizes. You can do it! Once registered, the Player Info Package will give you all the ideas, tips and guidance you’ll need to be successful.

• What if I don't raise $750?

There will be a waiting list of players who have their money raised. Registered players who are unable to reach the minimum of $750 will forfeit their spot in the marathon. Making a difference is the key! The fabulous, celebrity hockey event is the amazing bonus!
