A charity hockey game supporting the Children’s Hospital in London, Ont. will be played at the Western Fair District.
A local aspiring influencer, Dylan Wallace, is organizing it.
“I don’t want people to see this event as a joke because of my age or anything like that,” said Wallace. “I actually hope to inspire more young people to do stuff for charity because it’s a great thing and they do need [help], especially the Children’s Hospital. It’s a great cause and they do need our help.”
The event will include a skills competition, followed by a scrimmage, then a meet and greet with the influencers involved.
Tickets are $10 each, and organizers say all ticket sales will go to Children’s Hospital.
“Kids giving back to kids. Young adults are learning to fundraise. It’s an amazing thing. I think we could use more young adults like Dylan,” said Children’s Hospital Director of Community Relations Jennifer Baxter.
The event runs April 8 starting at 4:30 p.m. at the Western Fair arena.
