On behalf of my team, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your support of the 5th Annual Marner All-Star Invitational! 

Your participation enables the Marner Assist Foundation (MAF) to pursue our goal of creating a lasting impact on the lives of children and youth by providing vital resources and funding. Thank you for helping us achieve our mission of generating sustainable change.

The impact we have made together is truly awe-inspiring. As we look back on this journey, we celebrate the remarkable achievement of raising close to an astounding $2 million since our Foundation's inception.

The funds have been and continue to be invested in children's social care, health, education, and environmental causes, building brighter futures. We support various organizations whose goals align with ours, including Second Harvest, FEMAP, Jumpstart, LUMENUS, Muskoka Woods Youth Foundation, 360 Kids, and the Salvation Army. 

We couldn't have achieved such great success without the continuous support from YOU, our partners, donors, and participants—a heartfelt thank you for generously donating your time and resources to MAF.  We've accomplished so much together!

This year's event was truly incredible.  During the First Period, we hosted a fantastic Tailgate Party that surpassed last year's event - the food and beverages were amazing, and the fun and excitement went to new heights with the introduction of our gaming zone! Thanks to the participation of many, the silent and live auctions were a great success. 

The Second Period's Team Challenge allowed participants to showcase their skills and learn from some of hockey's top athletes. The addition of age categories made for an even more exciting competition, and we want to extend our congratulations to both the winning kids' team, sponsored by Quartexx and the winning adult team, the KJ Harrison Bulldogs. 

The Third and Final Period featured a thrilling display of talent from the Pros. The Marner All-Star Invitational Champions title was on the line as my team battled it out on the ice against Team Ambrose. With a close 7-5 victory, Erin and her team emerged triumphant, sending the crowd roaring with excitement. 

Finally, I want to personally thank our phenomenal celebrity coaches for your time and effort on and off the ice – it means a great deal.  Shout out to our volunteers who helped make the event run smoothly and once again to everyone who contributed to making this year's event a success – THANK YOU. We could not have done it without you!

My team at MAF and I are already busy planning the 6th annual Marner All-Star Invitational, which promises to be an exciting event filled with camaraderie and thrilling on-ice moments. Keep a lookout for upcoming updates! The 2024 edition is set to be an unforgettable celebration of unity and giving.

On behalf of my family and team MAF - Thank you for choosing to #MakeAnAssist!

Sincerely,
