Members of the United Township High School Interact Club spent Friday evening at a Quad City Storm hockey game supporting the Children's Therapy Center of the Quad Cities.
The students took part in the Storm’s popular “Chuck-A-Puck” promotion, which raises money for a different local nonprofit organization during each home game. Fans purchase soft hockey pucks and toss them onto the ice during an intermission. Participants whose pucks land in a designated target area have the chance to win a prize.
While fans enjoy the friendly competition, the real benefit goes to the selected nonprofit. All proceeds from the puck sales that evening were donated to the Children's Therapy Center to help ensure children with physical disabilities and developmental delays continue to have access to life-altering physical, occupational, speech and feeding therapy, regardless of their families’ ability to pay.
The UTHS Interact Club’s participation was a great example of students supporting an important community organization and helping make a difference in the lives of local children and their families.
