Christmas and New Year has been
and gone, the Hockey season is coming to an end in around two months’ time
and then it just well what to do during the off-season until September.
Well I like to think of it’s as Charity season when the hockey family come together to play Ice hockey and raise money for 8 great charities at the UK Forum All-Stars. Last year in Sheffield the UKFAS managed to raise a total of £49,100 and in doing that pass the 100k mark since the start of the All-Stars in 2008.
We get to do it all over again now the teams for the 8 teams were announced on New Year’s Eve and the 7 months of hard work and fundraising began straight away. The actual tournament takes place on the final weekend of July on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th when it returns to Sheffield for another year at Ice Sheffield.
There is so many good things going on amongst the All-Stars this year just purely on the different ideas that several Allstars have got for their fundraising and ideas that could really expand the UKFAS and really put them out there in the public eye for example two things that really stand out is the Banger 3k rally and the Tri-Rink Challenge but I’ll be getting into them in more detail sooner rather than later as they both deserve their own special coverage because of how brilliant they both are but to get you started to keep up to with both you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter by going to https://www.facebook.com/banger3k?fref=ts for Facebook and for twitter just follow @Banger3k and for the Tri-Rink Challenge just simple follow https://www.facebook.com/TriRinkChallenge and @3rinkchallenge and that should get you started on what you need to know at the moment and like I already said I’ll be going into both in great detail soon. So far to date on the last update for the 2015 event over 7k has been raised as of the 9th February and last year by this point they had only raised £4697.
The All-Stars is without the doubt one of the best things I’ve ever been apart off.
It’s not just the All-Stars I’m going to be looking into as several of my friends are doing big charity stuff and definitely want to help support them and put their charity work across. Starting with Rosemary Wilcockson who is raising money for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity and will be shaving her head on the 21st February at the Steelers home game vs Coventry Blaze. Rosemary will be donating her hair to the Little Princess Trust and will be raising money for Weston Park. Secondly another friend of mine Beth Dudley who is doing the Hope Walk on the 18th April who is aiming to walk to raise awareness for mental health issues and fundraise to help Mind continue its aim to give support to sufferers. I will hopefully have more in depth articles in the coming weeks for both.
So keep an eye on articles looking more into everything as we try our best to cover all these great charities this year. On Another note if you're involved with All-Stars and if you want us to help get you out there and publicise please just message us, email us or DM us on twitter the details are down at the bottom! Don't be scared to get in contact I want to cover as much of the All-Stars as possible.
I'm also playing in the UK Forum All-Stars 2015 in Sheffield representing the Blue Cross for a second year in a row and any donations big or small will be appreciated and you can donate by pressing the button below.
