Norwell Hockey Buyout to Support MRI+ Campaign

IanCHockeyOn Thursday, November 30, 2023, Norwell staff and students attended the boys’ hockey tournament to cheer on the Varsity Reds one-thirty game vs the Owen Sound Wolves. The  Reds won 2-1 and goals were scored by Kohen M and Kanyon C.

 The buyout was organized by the Business Leadership class, and attended by over four hundred staff and students including grade eight students who will be attending Norwell in the fall. The Hockey buyout was the first of three events to raise funds for The MRI+ Campaign. The business leadership class raised funds by selling tickets to the buyout and selling hockey pucks for the Chuck-A-Puck event. The additional fundraising events will take place in the new year and include a movie event planned for  March 8th, 2024, and Norwell’s Redsfest event on June 7th, 2024.  Stay tuned for more information on these events.

Students were encouraged to show their school spirit and come dressed in school colors, red, white, and black. During lunch before the event, the cosmetology class offered face painting, hair tinsel, and face gems for students. At the event, the students were given noise makers and pom poms to cheer on the team and show their Norwell pride.

“I had lots of fun at the buyout. I cheered so much I lost my voice. I am glad I went and would go again”- Brendon W. 

Students in the business leadership course raised funds for The MRI+ Campaign by selling tickets to the game and promoting the Chuck-A-Puck event. Prior to the buyout, leadership students visited classes to provide education around the MRI and the $8 million campaign.  In total, the event raised $940.00.

Congratulations to the Chuck-A-Puck winners: third-place winner was Cadence D, the second-place winner was Alexander C. and congratulations to the first-place winner Finley D. Thank you to Palmerston Foodland for donating $100 worth of gift cards as Chuck-A-Puck prizes.  

All contributions collected will be donated to the Palmerston hospital in support of  the MRI+ Campaign.
