Canes' Kick Off "Operation Christmas Child"

Lethbridge, AB – The Lethbridge Hurricanes will be kicking off the holiday season with one of their annual holiday community events. Today – Tuesday, November 24th at 10:45 AM all of the Hurricanes veterans will be lending a hand at the University Drive Alliance Church. (55 Columbia Blvd. West) The University Drive Alliance Church is the regional collection centre for Operation Christmas Child in Southern Alberta. This program encourages children and adults to pack shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items and school supplies to be given to children living in impoverished areas all over the world.

The Hurricanes will be on hand to help raise awareness for this great cause and to give Ray Howe and his volunteers a hand in loading up the cartons of boxes to be shipped to needy children. All media are encouraged to attend this worthwhile event.
