The Windsor Minor Hockey Association will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary this August 21st 2010

WMHA is in the process of gathering sponsors for their upcoming gala which boosts 700 guests. Sponsors are recognized in a program that is handed out to each guest.
It may seem like a long ways away but an event like this takes time to put together and the organization needs to know how much money they will have in their budget to plan the event.
They have sponsorships available for as low as $150, this is a great way to get your company name out there and help some youngsters play hockey here in Windsor at the same time.

Please give whatever you can for a great cause and show the community you care about the kids and want to help keep them on the ice and out of trouble.

For more information please contact WMHA President Dean Lapierre drdean@mnsi.net

Here’s to another 50 years!
