Dear BTSH,

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU all for coming out to play hockey, get some hugs, and get drunk drink beer for Rose Charities! This year’s tournament was a huge success and a lot of fun, and we owe it all to you.

Special thanks to this year’s winner, Team Filthy, whose drive to win and fear of meeting new people helped us raise more this year than ever before. Shout out to Team 4 (with the most creative of chants, “1, 2, 3… 4!”) for giving them a run for their money in the playoff game.

With your help, we raised over $6,000 for the Rose Cambodia Rehabilitation Center!! In just one day, we were able to fund half of our annual operating costs for this project. With this money, our amazing team on the ground will do over 800 physiotherapy sessions and more than 500 maternal health sessions this year. By playing in this tournament, you are helping to keep people healthy, on their feet, in their communities, and out of poverty.

Many of you know those of us who run Rose Charities NY but this event truly is a league-wide effort. Special thanks to our volunteer refs Zach, Sam, Isaac and Eli, to all the BTSHers who donated awesome raffle prizes – Worky, Lisa Harrington, Tia, Caroline Johnston, Mia, Ashley Cabe, Timmy Brown, Danielle, and Sam Norris, and to everyone who took the time to make the day run just a little bit smoother. We love you more than more!

If you need to follow up on redeeming your raffle prize, want to buy a water bottle (still comes with a hug), or want to learn more about Rose Charities – find us at Tompkins or email me at diane.johnston@rosecharities.us.

Much love,
The Rose Charities Team
