Bangor (ME) - The University of Maine may be 1834 miles away from Haiti, but that won’t stop the Black Bears from finding a way to help out. Last month, an earthquake devastated the small country of Haiti, bringing down homes and businesses as well as killing more than 200,000 people. In an effort to help relieve the country, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has planned a raffle and numerous donation areas at the school’s home hockey game this Saturday against the University of Massachusetts-Lowell.
The group will hope to draw in a lot of money with a kayak as a grand prize. Raffle tickets are being sold at the entrances for five dollars for the first ticket then one dollar for each following ticket. All of the money raised will go to Haiti’s relief organizations.
The game between the River Hawks (15-13-2) and the Black Bears (14-11-3) will start at 7pm Saturday. It will be the second of the two match-ups the teams play this weekend.
