Cox to Hold Annual Canned Food/Toy Drives Versus Princeton

(Hamilton, NY) Colgate’s Ethan Cox (Richmond, B.C.) is once again spearheading an effort to spread good holiday cheer to several families in the immediate area and throughout Madison County.

Saturday evening, Nov. 21 versus nationally ranked Princeton, fans will have an opportunity to bring either canned food or toys and receive a general admission ticket to the Raiders’ game with the Bobcats.  Considering next weekend’s games will be the last home games played at Starr Rink until January, the annual canned food and toy drives have been combined into one.  Fans must bring one toy or two canned food items in order to receive the complimentary ticket.

Canned food items will help replenish the stock at the Hamilton Food Cupboard, while the toys will be handed over to the Interfaith Holiday Council, which will then disperse the items to families within the Madison County limits.

Recently, Price Chopper has decided to climb aboard with Colgate hockey to help provide families in need of some holiday cheer, as it will donate $200 worth of canned food to the cause.

“We want to thank Price Chopper for this thoughtful donation and the support of the food/toy drive that we are hosting before our men’s hockey game on November 20,” said Colgate Assistant Athletic Director Shaun Richard.  “With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we felt the need to give back to our local food banks and with the help of Price Chopper, we feel this is a great help in achieving our goal.”

Last year, the food and toy drives, which were held on separate weekends, collected over $1,000 in cash; 350 pounds of food and 200 toys that went to the Hamilton Food Cupboard and the Interfaith Holiday Council.  The end results greatly exceeded the previous year’s efforts.
