This is an amazing charity that I am absolutely proud to blog about!

To our friends in Dawg Nation,
In January of 2011, a small group of beer league hockey players decided to begin this endeavor called the 'Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation.' What started as an idea to honor a fallen friend and 'make a difference' has blossomed into something much, much more.
Since our inception, we have unbelievably generated well over $300,000, and more importantly, we have been able to positively impact the lives of many. From the weekend warrior recovering from a nasty fall on the rink, to amazing acts of human kindness that have not only changed the lives of our recipients, but also our volunteers at the same time.
It has been an amazing journey so far, and absolutely could not have occurred without the countless volunteer hours of many, and the incredible generosity of many more.
If you haven't had a chance yet, please take a few minutes to check out our 'Giving Back'page. Our recipients are a very diverse group-they're men and women, and they're young and not so young. But what they all have in common is that they're part of our hockey community, and they've gone through a difficult period of their lives. Dawg Nation exists to help these people.
And this is just the beginning! We're picking up steam- more and more people are hearing about us, and are asking how they can join our great cause.
A huge 'thank you' to all of you that have made all this possible. You have made, and continue to make the world a better place.
Sincerely,
Martin 'The Dawg Father' Richardson
President
