TORONTO,
ON — The Toronto St. Michael’s Majors have
been Painting the Town Red in support of the
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario (HSFO)
during the month of February and are approximately
halfway towards their goal of raising $2,000.
This initiative will culminate during Saturday’s
Majors’ game versus the Brampton Battalion,
which is a 2:00 pm start. At this time, Heart
and Stroke Foundation of Ontario spokesperson
and supporter Juve Jesus will be on hand to
address the crowd. Also, HSFO representatives
will be present to answer questions and hand
out information.
Paper hearts are being sold
at all Majors’ February home games for a minimum
donation of $2. Donors may honour loved ones
by writing their names on the hearts, which
will be posted throughout the St. Michael’s
College School Arena during the month.
The
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario (www.heartandstroke.ca
) leads the way towards greater understanding
of the root causes of heart disease and stroke.
The Foundation relies heavily on public donations
to ensure that vital heart and stroke research
continues. They need your help!
The
Majors will travel to Peterborough to battle
the Petes on Thursday night (February 26th)
with the game starting at 7:00 pm. Then,
they will return home to host the Battalion
on Saturday (February 28th) and Belleville
on Sunday (February 29th) with both games
starting at 2:00 pm. The Brampton match-up
will be available on Rogers television in
the Toronto region (channel 10) while all
three games can be heard via webcast at
www.stmichaelsmajors.com
.
Individual
game tickets can be purchased at the St.
Michael’s College School Arena box office,
by calling Ticketmaster at (416) 872-5000
or online at www.ticketmaster.ca
.
Notes
Majors’ captain Tim Brent
was supposed to appear on TSN’s sports talk
show ‘Off The Record’ yesterday evening. However,
the 6:00 pm EST show was bumped because of
the network’s extended coverage of the 2004
Scott Tournament of Hearts. The episode may
air at that time this evening.
