On February 1st, 2014, SFU Men's Hockey will be dedicating their home game against Trinity Western University at Bill Copeland Arena to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
More than 300,000 Canadians live with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). For over 40 years, JDRF has been a global leader in the search for an end to T1D, through both research funding and advocacy. JDRF’s research is committed to improving the lives of every person with T1D and to curing this disease. JDRF's research goals are realized by the projects being supported in three basic areas: Cure, Treat, Prevent
In support, we will be auctioning our exclusive game-worn jerseys to raise funds for JDRF. Attendees will have the opportunity support JDRF by purchasing these jerseys through our silent auction available during the game.
Another of other exciting silent auction items have been donated, including a stay the Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Vancouver, an autographed Martin Jones NHL jersey, and a free team entry into Hockey Night in Canada's Plan On!
Doors to this special evening will open at 6:15pm and puck drop is set for 7:00 pm sharp. Come out to support both SFU and JDRF on such a wonderful cause.
