UPCOMING WAXER EVENTS UNITED WAY FUNDRAISER AT
MARKVILLE MALL JOSHUA FRANEY FUNDRAISER On Friday, November 24th the Waxers host Oshawa in a regular season game. The Waxers are requesting our loyal fans and Markham-area residents to attend on that evening to "Meet the Olympians". As part of this fund raising venture the Waxers are pleased to announce that local Olympians Mathieu Turgeon and Karen Cockburn will be joined by their coach Dave Ross. Ken Pereira, member of the Canadian field hockey team recently back in the country after competing in the Olympics in Sydney, Australia will also participate in the festivities. The young man is a personable local athlete who enjoys sharing his many fond memories of the "Olympic Experience."
These Olympians will be present for pre-game ceremonies and will be available throughout the evening to sign autographs with proceeds going directly to Joshua Franey and his family. The Waxers hope that our fans will fill the arena on this date, game time is 8:00pm. We believe this is a perfect opportunity for fans to meet these fine athletes that have represented Canada while at the same time assisting with this fund raising endeavor. Further news will follow regarding ticket prices, ticket sale locations and additional details as they emerge.
