Red Wing Alumni Will Again Skate In Brighton For Local Charities
March 8, 2018
Local hockey enthusiasts will get a chance this weekend to watch a game featuring several Red Wing legends while benefiting five local charities.
One of those who will lace up the skates for the 9th annual Hockey Night in Brighton is Steven Bearden from the Von Voigtlander Foundation, who will be playing for the Red Wing alumni team, which will include Darren McCarty, Joe Kocur and Mickey Redmond. The puck drops at 12:30 Saturday afternoon at the Kensington Valley Ice House with tickets just $10. But for $50, you can enjoy dinner afterward with some great auction items, including a chance to bid for an opportunity to play on next year's Red Wing alumni team.
Bearden says this year the Von Voigtlander Foundation is still matching dollar for dollar all donations up to $10,000. Online ticket sales will cut off Friday night and then tickets will be available at the door. Proceeds will benefit North Star Reach, Livingston County Shop With a Cop, The Arc of Livingston, Reaching Higher and the Michigan Lupus Foundation.
Also playing will be event organizer Scott DesAutel, who says they will be giving out 500 sets of collector cards while they last. You can find details through the link below. (JK)
