High levels of lead have plagued
Flint's municipal water supply
for at least a year, prompting
extensive emergency measures to
keep residents safe.
Last Friday night, the Sarnia
Sting and the Flint Firebirds
squared off in game one of a
home-and-home between the two
clubs at the SSEC. The Sting
encouraged fans to bring
monetary donations & set aside
$2 from each ticket purchased at
the Box Office for the cause.
The grand total being donated
back to the Flint Water Crisis
is $6,574.73 and includes
generous donations from the
Northend Dental Centre, Kel-Gor
Limited, and D&S Service Centre
LTD. In terms of bottles, the
grand total of funds raised
would be able to purchase 78,896
bottles of water for Flint, MI.
Sarnia Sting President, Bill
Abercrombie comments, “We’d like
to thank our fans and the people
of Sarnia for once again showing
tremendous support to a worthy
cause. The reception from
Sarnia-Lambton was outstanding.
I’d like to personally thank the
companies who jumped on board,
and helped us surpass our
expectations.”
