For the last two years, the Warriors have participated in the GR8 HOLIDAY GIVE toy drive, sponsored by NEWS 8 and have collected over 200 toys!  Toys collected benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Milford and Toys for Tots.  

This holiday season, we’d like to invite the entire Warriors community to participate in a fun and friendly competition and donate a new, unwrapped toy for the GR8 HOLIDAY GIVE again this year.  These toys will be distributed to kids in need throughout the greater New Haven area this holiday season. We will have donation boxes set up at the rink (outside of the Warriors office) starting around Thanksgiving and ending the middle of December.  Once we have firm dates on the event, we’ll update you. We’ll announce the winning team on December 18 th.  The Warriors Board will award the winning team with a ticket for each player, redeemable at the Northford Ice Pavilion food court for either Chicken Nuggets, Hot Dog, Slice of Pizza or Mozzarella Sticks and a small fountain soda.  The team is encouraged to pick a day/time after practice to celebrate sweet victory together!  

NEWS 8 will feature the Greater New Haven Warriors on the air again this year, with a group photo/video on the ice together, which is open for all teams to join.  Details on date/time to follow. We ask that the kids wear their WHITE Warriors jerseys (Santa hats and antlers are always a great addition).

If anyone has questions, please contact Jon Rosen jonrosen@sbcglobal.net or Annette Adams annette.adams2188@gmail.com   Special thanks to Jon who is a member of our Warriors family and is employed by NEWS 8. The GR8 Holiday Give has collected thousands of toys for children over the past 20 years, and the Warriors are happy to participate.

Be a Warrior and consider giving back to the community…help make someone else’s holiday season just a little bit brighter!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great holiday season ahead.

Thanks
