Welcome to the Vancouver Draft Hockey League fundraising page!
We are a small 4 team summer ice hockey league with an emphasis on giving back to the community and community building. With a portion of registration fees going towards Hockeyy Gives Blood and self-run officiating and scorekeeping system, we hope to raise over $3,000 for 2022. Additional personal donations are more than welcome!
Please see our league website or socials (IG, Youtube, Facebook) for any additional details about our league (https://leagues.carhahockey.ca/VDHL/home)
We are championing this campaign to raise funds in support of Canadian Blood Services. Your support will play an integral role in connecting patients with lifesaving blood and blood products where and when they need them. By making a financial gift, you become an integral part of Canada’s Lifeline.
Did you know?
- Every 60 seconds, someone in Canada needs blood.
- Over 80 diseases can be treated with stem cell transplants.
- At any given moment, approximately 4,500 Canadians are waiting for organ transplants.
- Canadian Blood Services needs over 100,000 new donors this year to keep pace with demand for lifesaving products and services.
Financial donations help Canadian Blood Services to strengthen its national programs and initiatives for blood, stem cells, organ and tissue donations, and research and innovation. Every donation makes a difference in efforts to improve outcomes for Canadian patients, by helping Canadian Blood Services to:
- Recruit the next generation of blood donors;
- Build a robust stem cell registry that reflects Canada’s ethnic diversity;
- Strengthen the organ and tissue donation and transplantation system; and
- Drive world-class research in transfusion and transplantation medicine.
Thank you so much for your support. Together, we are Canada’s Lifeline.
