Announcing the Litter Box

[JCarson 744]

We are happy to announce that we will be doing a feature series for Season 86 about a new venture being done by Molly the Cat. Molly the Cat has joined forces with several local and international charitable organizations and is happy to announce the formation of a new charity called the Litter Box. 

 

The Litter box is physically one of the box suites within the London Arena. Molly the cat has purchased the rights to the box for season 86 and will be inviting children and their families to enjoy a game. The children invited will be nominated by many charities that work with individuals who have or are facing significant life events. The children and their families/guardians will experience an all-expenses paid trip to London, including hotel accommodations, meals, a tour package of the city, and tickets to the Litter Box for the game. 

 

We had a chance to sit down with Molly the Cat for an interview right after the official press conference announcing the Litter Box. 

 

Molly the Cat, thanks for sitting with us. What are you hoping to accomplish with this new charitable activity? 

 

There are so many individuals who are impacted by numerous negative life experiences and for me it is even more tragic when these individuals are children. I know there is little I can do to directly impact many of the individuals that will be coming to the Litter Box. Reality is I am a hockey player; I do not possess the skills required to make a permanent impact on their lives. Yet, as a hockey player I can attempt to provide these people with what I can, an experience that potentially they would never get. In addition, I am hoping that through this initiative we can also raise awareness of and funds for the many organizations that assist these children daily. 

 

Molly the Cat, how have the rest of your team responded to this initiative? 

 

London United is made up of generous individuals who choose to back many charitable initiatives. I am so excited that players and management have both embraced the idea of the Litter Box and will be joining me in several ways to make these experiences memorable for those involved. I did not mention it in the press conference, but I am happy to announce that all the players of the team have agreed to contribute $1000 if they have a multipoint night during a home game, and $2000 if they get a hat trick. In a show of good faith, the owners and management of London united have agreed to match those donations. These donations will be forwarded to the charity involved in bringing the attendees to the game. 

 

Molly the Cat, tell us how the fans of London United can get involved? 

 

If any fan wants to get involved, we ask that they donate financially or volunteer their time to any of the charities in their area. There are so many deserving organizations doing so many wonderful things that we will not be able to feature them all during the season. We encourage you to find one that resonates with you. Be involved, care for others and we can make this world a better place. 

 

Molly the Cat we want to thank you for your time today, we look forward to seeing how this initiative works this year and hopefully into the future.

Review:

Great read and something different. Love the idea of players using their own funds to help out the local youth in the community by letting them see a live VHL game as some of those kids may not be able to afford to see a game. I would add a picture to the article and maybe color to the interview portion of the article (Asking the question a different color from Molly's answers). Well done 8.5/10
