Elmira College will be joining the effort to support the Wounded Warrior -- Hockey Helpers Campaign, at its February 11th home Men's Ice Hockey contest versus Hobart.
The Hockey Helpers (HH) is a program that has been established to give NCAA hockey teams the opportunity to volunteer and give back through multiple service projects. HH, founded by Ryan Adler at Hobart College, collaborated with Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) to bring attention and support to the veterans wounded during war. The WWP is a 501(c)(3) non-partisan, non-profit organization that exists to provide tangible comfort and support to the new generation of severely injured service members upon their return home from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas around the world.
HH increases the visibility of the WWP program by wearing apparel with the WWP and HH logos while doing community service projects. The Soaring Eagles will be selling special sweatshirts for $50; and limited edition camouflage jerseys for $100. All proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
