Thunder-NO-Ball was a hit!
This season our Thunderbirds Bursary program has helped 23 players across the U8 to U18 divisions stay on the ice, and it is all thanks to our members who participated in last year's Thunderball. Our plans for Thunderball 2021 had to be adjusted and we have turned it into a Thunder-No-Ball event!
There were two elements to the Thunder-NO-Ball: a virtual silent auction and a Take Out Dinner night thanks to our friends at AJ's Brooklyn Pizza Joint and BierCraft.
With 103 items in the auction, 18 donations received and 97 orders for the Take Out Dinner, the Thunder-NO-Ball was an absolute success! The auction and donations raised a total so far of $21,110 and we'll have the amount raised for the 15% from each Take Out order soon to add to the grand total. Donations can be made at anytime to the Thunderbird Bursary by sending an e-transfer to etransfer@vancouvertbirds.ca (automatically deposited) with a note in the comments that it is for the Bursary program.
Thank you to our amazing TBird family for donating the items for the auction and for participating in these efforts.
