We would like to offer your company the opportunity to sponsor the largest Doctors Charity Hockey Tournament in Canada. Docs on Ice is an annual fundraising doctors hockey tournament that began in 1983. It is hosted by a different city each year to raise funds for a local charity in their community. The tournament is run by physicians and volunteers to raise money for charity through donations, sponsorship, registration fees, and special events. It is attended by high profile celebrities, including NHL players and alumni, media personnel, and television personalities. All proceeds go directly to charity. Docs on Ice has grown over the last 29 years to include more than 800 physicians and 100 Medical Students, with over 50 teams from across Ontario. To date, Docs on Ice has raised over $1 million dollars for charity. We are excited to have the 29th annual Docs on Ice tournament in Oakville on April 7, 8, 9 2011. With the generous support of Halton Region, the tournament will be run by the Doctors' Hockey Club, a local group of 50 hockey-playing Physicians from the area. This important event will raise funds for charity in Oakville, bring a positive economic impact to Halton, and have a significant impact on physician recruitment in Halton Region. We are pleased to support the Alzheimer Society of Hamilton Halton as our local charity. The goal is to raise money to create the "Docs on Ice Resource Centre." This state-of-the-art facility will be located in Oakville, and will provide needed resources to the residents of Halton living with Dementia. It will incorporate a computer lab, reference material, and stimulating therapy to enhance healthy brain development. The "Docs on Ice Resource Centre" will also increase opportunities for socialization, counselling, and supports for people and their families with Dementia. With your generous support, Docs on Ice will be an excellent opportunity to showcase your company. You will have unique access to our special audience to promote your products. You will also be recognized as a champion in your community by demonstrating commitment to local charity. By sponsoring Docs on Ice, you will show your support for the community of Oakville, Halton Region, and for the Alzheimer Society. Please review the various levels of sponsorship available, and contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for your support of Docs on Ice.
