The Simon Fraser University hockey team and the Burnaby-based Dixon Transition Society will joining forces to help end violence against women and children on Saturday, Feb. 25.
Serving the community since 1973, the Dixon society helps women and children survivors of domestic violence by providing a safe haven through our transition house, second-stage and third-stage housing programs.
Last year alone, the society responded to over 2,500 crisis calls from women at direct risk of experiencing violence and had to turn away almost 900 women and children due to lack of space.
To support these efforts, the SFU hockey team is donating a portion of the ticket sales from their upocoming game against Thompsons Rivers University at the end of this month to Dixon, and the women and children that access their services.
The game will be held on Saturday, February 25 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre at 7 p.m. Come out to support your local team and your community. To buy tickets please call Dixon at 604-433-4191.
