Schools chosen by application in 2012 are Prince of Wales in Thorold, St. Therese in Port Colborne, St. Elizabeth in Wainfleet and Crystal Beach Public School in Crystal Beach.
With you help and generous donations, these recipient schools will enjoy a free day of skating at their local arenas including snacks and drinks and use the skates to continue a school wide skating program
Since the program was created in 2009, over 1,800 pairs of gently used skates and over 300 new helmets were donated to schools in the Niagara Region to assist in developing a school wide skating program. In addition PenFinancial has organized free skate days for all sponsored schools.
