Northern Ontario Outdoor Classic- Inspired by Jillian Kmith's Journey

The inspiration for this cause is the Kmith Family. Her brother Fred is playing in the game.
The inspiration for this cause is the Kmith Family and they shared this message:
For over a year, our family lived at the Ronald McDonald house in Ottawa while our daughter Jillian received cancer treatment. It truly is a special place. Families living with a child going through life saving treatment at CHEO can laugh, grow, eat, fall apart, and support each other during these very difficult times. There is no break from treatment, so having a home away from home to celebrate holidays and family tradition is a key to surviving these health challenges. The house is currently under expansion and these funds are very welcome. Hockey has also been a safety net of friends for us and our children; so for this group to choose RMHC as a recipient of funds for our event is a reflection of your kindness and consideration for us and other families in our community who rely on RMHC. I know our kids will grow in compassion and empathy through this event and we are unmeasurably grateful and humbled. Thanks very much for your contribution!
The Kmith Family
Both teams Vipers and Trappers U13A teams joined forces over the weekend and did a food drive and filled 3 vehicles filled with food donations and raised cash.
The Northern Ontario Outdoor Classic for charity has a number of events and opening ceremonies will have special guests, beaver tails and prizes available for contributions to the Ronald McDonald House Ottawa. Everyone is welcome!
