Intern Project
I think these are all great ideas that we could take some inspiration from. We
could pair with Make A Wish and give some of the A players, such as Chara, Bergeron,
Marchand, and Krejci, Make A Wish kids that they could connect with. We could video
tape each player reading their Make A Wish kids story. On the Hockey Fights Cancer
Night, we could play these videos in between periods. The kids that Make A Wish
foundation connects us with would get a chance to attend the home game dedicated to
Hockey Fights Cancer. After the video of their story is played in the Garden, the big
screen would then show the child whose story was just read. That would become a
moment for applause and recognition from the crowd. There could also be a photo op
after the game of the Make A Wish kids with the players, which is similar to what the
Capitals did. I know the Bruins have partnered with Make A Wish in the past, but it has
not been done for several years, or at all for a Hockey Fights Cancer Night.
Similar to what other organizations have done in the past, the Bruins could host a
showing of Soul on Ice, which a film about the history of African American hockey
players. The entire event would be hosted by the Bruins and there could be some
Bruins giveaways and a raffle to benefit charities that share any common theme with
Hockey is for Everyone. There are a lot of outdoor venues that could host the event, but
one in particular is the Boston Harbor Hotel. They do a lot of outdoor moving showings,
so we could partner with them to show the film. We have already done the pride shirts.
The Bruins could also do a pride jersey and auction them off after wearing them during
warm ups, which is similar to the Hockey Fights Cancer lavender jersey auction.
