Western Supports Family Day Game in Kelowna
Family Day Game Delivers Fun… and Real Impact
Western Financial Group was proud to sponsor the Kelowna Rockets’ Family Day Game, an evening filled with community spirit, family fun, and meaningful impact. From start to finish, the event brought together fans, partners, and local families for a celebration both on and off the ice.
The festivities kicked off before the game with outdoor activities that created an exciting atmosphere for families arriving at the arena. Inside, the first 100 fans received Western goodie bags, including a $10 concession gift card, a small touch that added to the Family Day excitement.
Together We Raised Nearly $2,000 For The Kelowna Women's Shelter
What made the night truly special was the way the community rallied behind a great cause. Fans were invited to bring new, unopened hygiene items for men, women, and children in support of the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. These items help provide comfort and dignity to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances, and the response from fans was inspiring.
Through puck sales, contests, and generous contributions from attendees, we’re thrilled to share that the event raised almost $2,000 for the shelter, along with a significant amount of donated supplies. This achievement reflects the strong community spirit that continues to bring the Okanagan together and showcases the power of partnership when we work toward a shared goal.
The game-day entertainment added an extra layer of fun for fans of all ages.
Western’s video ads lit up the arena throughout the night, while our in‑office draw winners competed in the first‑intermission tricycle race, a crowd favourite that had fans cheering on as grown adults raced tricycles across the ice. The second‑intermission charity puck toss kept the energy high, offering fans the chance to win great prizes, including the grand prize: our Western suite and ten tickets to the upcoming Lee Brice concert.
We are grateful to the Kelowna Rockets, local families, and every fan who contributed to this successful evening. Your generosity and enthusiasm made a meaningful difference.
These donations will help provide essential items to local families in need, a meaningful reflection of the values we champion through the Western Communities Foundation, our charitable arm dedicated to strengthening communities across Canada.
