Pleasantly Surprised
I must say that the Detroit Red Wings organization pleasantly surprised me today. See, I’m the public relations co-chair for UM Students for Organ Donation and we’re having a Skate Night in a couple weeks at Yost Ice Arena. Anyways, we wanted to raffle off gift certificates, tickets, etc to help fundraise. I sent out a bunch of letters to local sports teams and stores hoping to obtain a free signed puck, photo, etc so that we could raffle it off.
The Detroit Red Wings were actually the second organization I heard back from (the U of M ticket office was the first) and they sent UMSOD a signed Henrik Zetterberg puck to raffle off! I really didn’t think they would send something to our small organization when they’re are supposedly selective, but I am very appreciative that they did!
