posted 02/05/2010 RYHA St Baldricks Update
RYHA will be involved with 3 events to support the St. Baldrick’s Foundation in February. As usual, a number of Hurricanes players and staff will show their support for the foundation, which raises awareness and funds for childhood cancer research, by shaving their heads in solidarity with kids who typically lose their hair during cancer treatments.
Feb 11th event 4:30pm RBC
The team in conjunction with 96 Rock, is offering fans free tickets to its game against the Buffalo Sabres on Feb. 11, if they are willing to have their locks shorn for St. Baldrick’s prior to the game.
The Hurricanes have reserved 100 pairs of tickets for the game against the Sabres to encourage fans to support St. Baldrick’s, and each fan who shaves his or her head will receive two tickets to that night’s game, while supplies last. Beginning at 4:30 p.m., Salt from 96 Rock will be on hand, assisting a team of stylists in the head shaving activities on stage on the RBC Center’s South Lawn.

posted 01/20/2010 It’s St. Baldrick’s time again! Time to get bald and make a difference for kids with cancer.
This year as opposed to having our own event at the Factory, we are joining the Raleigh Hibernian event as the RYHA team. The Raleigh Hibernian event is taking place on Saturday, February 27th. I know that some of us will be out of town on the 27th. So, we have a second opportunity to shave at the RBC Center on the concourse during the Hurricanes game against the Sabres on Thursday, February 11th. We will all sign up under the same team and you will just need to let me know when you will be shaving so we can plan accordingly.
Worldwide 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Despite tremendous progress, cancer remains the # 1 disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada. The money you raise from family and friends to go bald for childhood cancer research is helping to support vital research and giving our children back their childhood dreams.
To date, St. Baldrick’s events and shavees have raised more than $68 million, providing research grants to enable doctors and scientists at over 230 institutions pursue the most promising new cures for childhood cancer and helping make clinical trials available to more children than ever. Thank you for helping us raise even more money next year.
In 2010, the St. Baldrick's Foundation is celebrating 10 years supporting children with cancer and we are thrilled to have your support. Thank you for helping us Shave the Way to Conquer Kids’ Cancer!

posted 01/06/2010 House Wind suit Fundraiser Update
On behalf of Raleigh Youth Hockey Association (RYHA) may I take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the support shown by Andrew Baron from 5 Hole Sports. We are delighted to receive the generous gift of $3250 for the House Wind Suit Fundraiser! Andrew’s commitment to helping the House program in our community is sincerely appreciated.
 Each year Raleigh Youth Hockey Association continues to advance its mission to design and maintain programs to increase participation, improve skills, sportsmanship, teamwork, and enjoyment for our athletes. Our programs provide support that meets the needs of the beginning skater where basic skills are taught as well as programs which offer opportunities of those who wish to advance in a more competitive environment.
In particular the House has enjoyed great success and growth in the past year. Donations play an absolutely crucial role in allowing us to pursue important new initiatives to expand in many ways and/or in enabling us to secure RYHA for future generations.
The goal of the Raleigh Youth Hockey Association is to continue to make a difference in the affordability of Hockey. With the help of donations from supporters such as Five Hole we will continue to see improvements in our program.
Thanks again for your generous support of our efforts to do defray the every-growing cost of operating our program, which includes equipment, uniforms, referees, awards, and our biggest cost (Ice Rental).
We look forward to future House Fundraising events!
Best wishes,
Andrew Thomas
Director of Fundraising
