2023 CHARITY: Ice Hockey in Harlem
$8,126.26 Raised
The first annual Canuck Invitational Golf Tournament benefitted the Ice Hockey in Harlem Foundation. IHIH is based in New York City, and “aims to support and develop determined, resilient, and confident youth by offering high-quality ice hockey programs, as well as off-ice programming that exposes young people in Harlem to educational experiences that improve their academic engagement, and strengthen their character to prepare them for their future”.
The programs and activities are all offered at no cost to players who are a part of the program. The ice rentals and enrichment activities are 100% donation based.
Ice Hockey in Harlem is for kids between the ages of 5-18 years old and who live in Harlem between 110th St. & 155th St. This past year, IHIH’s home rink (Lasker Ice Rink in Central Park) has undergone major renovations, which required IHIH to travel to Queens & NJ to find ice time. The money raised from the 2023 Canuck Invitational Golf Tournament went directly to help support transportation costs and to fund local trips to universities and colleges. This past year, IHIH attended games and met players from Boston College and Long Island University.
