Vipers holding charity auction to benefit local hockey playerWednesday, December 9, 2009 - Submitted by Vernon Vipers
The Vernon Vipers will be auctioning off some very big items in the next week to help raise money for the Stair family. Just over a week ago, Bruin Stair, a 14-year old Vernon Minor Hockey player, was diagnosed with cancer and taken to B.C. Children’s hospital in Vancouver where he has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
The Vernon Vipers made a few phone calls and were able to get an autographed Wayne Gretzky Edmonton Oilers Jersey donated by the Gretzky family along with two autographed framed photos, one of “The Goal”, Bobby Orr’s Stanley Cup game-winning goal in 1970 and the other of Jordan Eberle at the 2009 World Junior Hockey Championship.
The bids for these items and others will open at the Vipers home game this Friday night and will close on Saturday, December 19th at 10pm PST.
Bids can be made during the game or by email at heidi@vipers.bc.ca and bids will be updated regularly on the Vernon Vipers website. For further information or to make a donation please contact the Vipers Office at 250-542-6022.
