The Rising Stars Most Generous Team: and the winner is...

The Rising Stars Most Generous Team award is given to the team that makes the biggest charitable contribution through raffle ticket sales and pledges. For 2010, we have the closest margin ever between the top 3 teams. The results were so close that we needed to have a recount by a third party to validate the results.

The most charitable team for 2010 will enjoy a private two hour party in the Eric Molson Hospitality Suite for 20 people courtesy of Molson Canada.

Congratulations to all the teams for answering our call to eliminate the digital divide, however; join us in congratulating the Service Canada team for claiming the top prize!

The breakdown of charitable contributions is as follows:

Total combined contributions from the teams and their fans was $1270.00. We are projecting that after expenses (Ice rental, Officials, Canteen, etc), the tournament will have raised close to $3000 for the Future Focus Foundation. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Geeks on Ice would like to thank its sponsors T4G Limited, Holiday Inn Express and Moosers Pub and Eatery.

GEEKS KICKOFF 2010 HOCKEY TOURNAMENT WITH A “FOCUS” ON YOUTH

Moncton, nb, March 30, 2010: Geeks on Ice are gearing up for their seventh annual charitable hockey tournament. Since 2003, the tournament has attracted IT professionals to the Moncton area to play in a three-day event which raises money to invest in initiatives that help reduce the impact of the digital divide. Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $30,000 to help build computer labs and make other technology upgrades for local non-profit organizations.

This year’s tournament will take place in Dieppe from April 23-25^th at the Arthur J. LeBlanc Centre and feature geek skaters from IT organizations like T4G Limited, Speilo and Gogii Games. The public is welcome to attend the games and related special events.

For 2010, Geeks on Ice has chosen to team up with Future Focus Foundation, the philanthropic arm of T4G Limited. It is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency.

With a regional office in Moncton, T4G is pleased that Future Focus is partnering in a project that has demonstrated a high social return on investment. The executive director, Andrew Sifton, is “delighted at the idea of overcoming the digital divide”. The foundation’s mandate is to “help children succeed” in communities across Canada and it is pleased to be supporting an event that will benefit the community of Greater Moncton.

“It is our core belief that every child deserves a chance to succeed,” said Geeks on Ice founder Trevor MacAusland. “The digital divide has created a barrier for troubled youth who see a career in the ICT sector as a way out. Our goal is to bridge this divide and make that dream a reality.”

Mr. MacAusland says the initiative is garnering support from regional IT companies. Geeks on Ice and Future Focus Foundation will be working with the Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB Region United Way to identify which projects in the Greater Moncton area will receive the funding.

Geeks on Ice would like to thank their sponsors T4G Limited, Magnetic Hill Holiday Inn Express and Mooser's Pub & Eatery for their support as well as the Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB Region United Way for their past and current support as a local community partner.
