Danbury Whalers Hosting Women’s Center Benefit

DANBURY — When the Danbury Whalers host the Akwasasne Warriors on Friday, December 17, for a 7:05 game at Danbury Ice Arena, the evening will double as a benefit for The Women’s Center of Greater Danbury.

The Women’s Center has its own section of reserved seating and the president of its board of directors will drop the ceremonial first puck to start the game.

Many auction and raffle items will be available, including a team-signed game puck, a team-signed used game stick, individual autographed player pictures, the chance to practice with the Danbury Whalers, be the team owner for a day or have the Whalers come to your home for dinner, a private hockey lesson from a Whalers player, the opportunity to drop the ceremonial first puck at a future game, four tickets to a luxury suite at a future Whalers game, a 50/50 raffle, and more.

Reserved tickets are $14 each and can be purchased from the Women’s Center. Call 203-731-5200 or visit www.wcogd.org for details or to learn more about this agency, which serves Newtown and other area communities. Danbury Ice Arena is at 1 Independence Way, within the CityCenter district.
