The London Tournament of “Hockey Helps the Homeless,” which took place on May 10, 2014, proved to be a huge success, as local hockey enthusiasts and the London business community rallied together to raise funds in support of homelessness in London. As a result, Unity Project, Merrymount Family Support and Crisis Centre and Youth Opportunities Unlimited will each receive $40,000 to support programs aimed at helping those most in need in the London community.
The London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR) was one of the Sponsors of the event and their Director of Business and Promotions, Tracy Marino, was Chair of the London Organizing Committee. Five LSTAR members were on the planning committee: Warren Shantz, Debbie Collins, Barb Whitney, Dan Grantham and Peter Whatmore. In addition, over 70 REALTORS® from London and area got involved – whether by being on one of the many volunteer committees or by playing hockey.
“We are delighted with the outcome of the inaugural tournament in London and we are already making plans to make next year’s tournament bigger and better,” said Tracy Marino. She announced that the second annual London Tournament of “Hockey Helps the Homeless” is booked for May 9, 2015 at the Western Fair District Sports Centre.
