UPEI Students Hosts Second Annual Battle of the Jocks fundraiser - March 23
Posting Date(s)
UPEI students will host the second annual Battle of the Jocks fundraiser on
Saturday, March 23. The event showcases varsity athletes competing in
hockey, basketball, and soccer games and skills competitions to raise funds
for the Children’s Wish Foundation (PEI Chapter) and UPEI’s Passion for
Life Award, an award created to honour Rene Ayangma, a member of the UPEI
men’s soccer team who passed away in 2008.
Beginning at 6:00 pm, athletes will compete in a 45-minute indoor soccer
game at the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre, followed by a basketball-skills
relay and dunk competition. The third event will take place on the ice
surface at the MacLauchlan Arena where teams will compete in a fast-paced
hockey game. This year’s Children’s Wish Foundation honorary coaches are
Shendrit and Dylan, two children living with high-risk, life threatening
illnesses.
Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the Mickey Place Kiosk at the W.A.
Murphy Student Centre or from Carol Heartz, UPEI Athletics and Recreation,
