IT'S NEARLY TIME!
After just over a year of planning, The Rink Rush is nearly here.
Since we came up with this crazy idea, we have been encouraged by the level of interest, the number of messages of support we have received from around British hockey and the exposure that our efforts have received on various websites. On Sunday 13th February, the dream becomes a reality as we begin our journey!
Now it's time to turn that interest and support into cash for Cancer Research UK! Not to put too fine a point on it, WE NEED YOUR MONEY!
So far, those of you who have entered our quiz, bought items in our auction or donated at Justgiving.com have helped us to raise over £1,300 for the charity, thanks to everyone for that. But we want to take the total much higher by the time we arrive at the NIC on Saturday 19th February at the end of our journey, for the game between the Nottingham Panthers and the Belfast Giants.
There are three main ways you can donate: you can visit our site at Justgiving.com, send us a cheque payable to "The Rink Rush" to 600 Moor Road, Bestwood Village, Nottingham, NG6 8TE. (If you’re sending a cheque to us please include your name and address & indicate whether you give your consent to Cancer Research to claim Gift Aid on your donation.) Or you can donate an item of memorabilia to be included in our auction after we finish our epic journey, please contact us via e-mail info@therinkrush.org.uk if you wish to do this.
Alternatively, come and meet us when we visit the Skydome on Tuesday February 15th for our Coventry visit. We aim to be there for 1.45pm, and we will be presented with a signed stick by the Blaze which will feature in our auction after the trip. Please drop by and say hello, we’d love to see as many of you there as possible.
If you would like any more information, team member Ian Braisby will be interviewed about The Rink Rush on the Bob Brolly show on BBC Radio WM at 2.30pm on Monday 31st January.
From the beginning, there have been two main angles to The Rink Rush. The most important is to raise as much as we can for Cancer Research UK. The second is to make this an event that involves the whole of the UK hockey community. It's not something that is being done by six Panthers fans, it's something that is being done by six ice hockey fans. At a time when the future of our league structure and that of some of our teams is uncertain, The Rink Rush gives British ice hockey fans the chance to put aside their rivalries and unite behind a common cause.
Please give what you can to help us achieve our goal.
