The
Sarnia Legionnaires will auction
off special warmup jerseys this
month, with all proceeds going
to St. Joseph's Hospice.
Shown here are, back row from

development manager for the

chairperson of the organization
and Larry Lafranier, the
executive director. Front row,
same order, are Legionnaires
players Tyler Prong, Jay Clarke,

The Sarnia
Legionnaires will hold special
fundraisers this month to help
raise funds for St. Joseph's
Hospice.
The Jr. 'B' hockey club will
wear red-and-black jerseys
during warmups prior to four
contests, beginning with this
Thursday's game (Jan. 8) against
the LaSalle Vipers.
Fans will be able to fill out
bid sheets in the lobby of
Sarnia Arena.
All proceeds will go to St.
Joseph's.
The Legionnaires will also
donate hundreds of tickets to
the non-profit Christina Street
North facility, which serves the
terminally ill. The hospice, in
turn, will sell the tickets,
keeping all the proceeds.
On top of that, there will be a
bake sale at the rink during
Sarnia's Jan. 22 home game. Once
again, all profits will go to
the hospice.
Maria Muscedere, St. Joseph's
fund development manager, said
the Legionnaires raise about
$5,000 for the hospice each
year.
The Legionnaires became involved
with St. Joseph's after it
provided care to the late Sharon
Williamson, who was a part owner
of the team.
