Come enjoy an evening out to the benefit the kids…….and bring the kids too!
It’s that time of the year again when we all come together to raise money for the Everett Youth Hockey Booster Club (EYHBC). This year marks our third year and the event will be held on Saturday, February 9th 2013, at 5:00pm at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center located at the Comcast Arena.
Last year the 2nd annual EYHBC event raised over $17,000! One of the main uses for our funds we raise is to provide scholarships to those young players who otherwise could not afford to play the game. This past year we were able to pay fees for a total of 9 players. We also have worked diligently with the Silvertips to provide goalie camps at a deep discount to assist young goalies within EYH. There are many other, less recognized, items that we provide for EYH such as pucks for all of the teams and logo'd pucks for all EYH home games. Finally, this year we thought it would be best to help all of those valuable EYHBC members that make the EYHBC possible and opted to help them offset their total fees due by providing subsidies valued up to $125 per player. Please help us make this another great fund raising year so that we can continue to impact the overall player experience within EYH!
In the past we have called the event a dinner and auction with a sit down meal to go along with all the other spectacular events of the evening. But this year we thought, “Why should the parents be the ones having all of the fun?” So we have decided to call the evening the EYHBC Benefit and Social. The atmosphere will be family focused; the attire casual and we encourage everyone to bring their children along for a fun-filled evening. As always, there will be many items to win. Best of all, the Everett Silvertips players will be in attendance and we hear there may be a knee hockey challenge in the works!

(Drop Box Raffles) Guests will be able to buy tickets, write their name on the tickets and drop the tickets into boxes in front of each item. There is no limit to how many tickets you can buy and there is no limit to how many tickets you can drop in a box! Cost for drop box tickets will be $20 for 25 tickets or 75 tickets for $50.

Balloon Bonanza
The Balloon Bonanza will be a table full of balloons anchored down by a roll of sock tape that are numbered. Each number will be on a list that corresponds to a prize of gift cards or a certificate to local businesses with a value of at least $40, there will be balloons that have gift cards you will receive with a value of $100! Each balloon will only cost $25. Every balloon purchased will be a winner. You will get a prize valued at a minimum of $40 plus a roll of sock tape!
Live Auction
There will be some very special items in the live auction. Most notably for EYH families will be team autographed EYH jerseys. Every team in every division will have a jersey that is autographed by the team up for bid.
Fund a Player
Every year The Everett Youth Hockey Booster Club helps families that may have a difficulty in paying the fees associated to playing ice hockey.
