LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE DIREC<strong>TO</strong>R<br />

AND BOARD CHAIR<br />

In Oil Country, <strong>Oilers</strong> hockey ignites a passion and excitement that unites our communities. A common love of the game and devotion to the team brings fans<br />

together each fall with anticipation for the upcoming season. Using that same energy, the <strong>Oilers</strong> have always made an effort to bring together the citizens of Oil<br />

Country for more than hockey; to work collaboratively to improve and support our communities. Leading this charge is the <strong>Edmonton</strong> <strong>Oilers</strong> Community Foundation<br />

(EOCF) who, each year since 2001, has found innovative and engaging fundraising initiatives for fans to rally behind.<br />

Every dollar raised by the EOCF is donated back to communities throughout Oil Country with over $1.5 million distributed last year alone. Naturally we are proud<br />

of our efforts to raise those funds and distribute them to charitable organizations who support youth, education, and health & wellness, which is the core of our<br />

EOCF model.<br />

The <strong>Oilers</strong> players, management and staff all participate in the fundraising efforts of the EOCF and together create momentum that’s extremely powerful. The reason<br />

we work together to culminate these significant donations is to reinvest in our communities. It’s what the <strong>Oilers</strong> have always done, and always will do. Simply put,<br />

it’s the right thing to do.<br />

Most importantly, all of this is possible thanks to <strong>Oilers</strong> fans who give generously allowing the EOCF to make a notable impact in Oil Country.<br />

HORCOFF’S HEROES<br />

In <strong>2008</strong>-<strong>09</strong>, <strong>Edmonton</strong> <strong>Oilers</strong> Assistant Captain, Shawn Horcoff and his wife, Cindy, created Horcoff’s Heroes. They personally purchased<br />

a block of tickets to 20 <strong>Oilers</strong> games throughout the season and graciously donated the tickets to children’s charities. Before these<br />

games, children and their chaperones were given the opportunity to meet Shawn for autographs and pictures. Each child also received<br />

a Horcoff’s Heroes t-shirt and a voucher for a pop and a hot dog at the game.<br />

SUPPORTING EDUCATION<br />

ADOPT-A-SCHOOL<br />

New in <strong>2008</strong>-<strong>09</strong> the <strong>Edmonton</strong> Oil Kings Adopt a School<br />

program gave businesses and individuals in <strong>Edmonton</strong> the<br />

opportunity to provide Oil King tickets to a school of their<br />

choice in return for a tax receipt from the EOCF. <strong>Edmonton</strong><br />

<strong>Oilers</strong> defenseman, Jason Strudwick, got on board when<br />

he helped announce the Adopt a School initiative at his<br />

former school, Holy Cross Elementary/Junior High.<br />

SCHOLARSHIPS<br />

One of the EOCF’s pillars of support is expanding<br />

educational opportunities for people in and around Oil<br />

Country. To that end, EOCF provides a number of annual<br />

scholarships through post-secondary institutions:<br />

NorQuest College - $10,000<br />

University of Alberta - $10,000<br />

NAIT - $10,000<br />

Grant MacEwan University - $10,000<br />

SHARE A BOOK<br />

Books stir the senses, inspire the imagination, and<br />

spark a love of reading that can last a lifetime; they<br />

are essential to lifelong development, and yet many<br />

children from low-income families have no books or<br />

very few books at home to call their own.<br />

The EOCF Share a Book program is a literacy program<br />

which gives children from low-income families the<br />

opportunity to experience the magic and joy of reading<br />

at home by providing them with two new books and<br />

their own book bag.<br />

During the <strong>2008</strong>-<strong>09</strong> school year, the EOCF once again<br />

joined with the <strong>Edmonton</strong> Journal Raise a Reader<br />

Foundation to bring the Share a Book program to over<br />

2,000 Grade One students, in classes from 66 schools<br />

throughout Oil Country. For many children, these were<br />

the very first books they had ever owned. The Share a<br />

Book program ensures that joy of reading is not limited<br />

to a student’s financial means by providing them with<br />

books to call their own.<br />

The EOCF was also an active participant in the annual<br />

Raise a Reader Day, with several prominent members<br />

of the <strong>Oilers</strong> organization chipping in to sell <strong>Edmonton</strong><br />

Journal newspapers to raise funds for the program.<br />

With your support, the campaign raised a total<br />

of $102,815.<br />

ICE SCHOOL<br />

The <strong>Edmonton</strong> <strong>Oilers</strong> ICE School program is a site-based<br />

educational initiative that gives teachers and students the<br />

opportunity to move their classrooms into the fascinating<br />

world of Rexall Place and Northlands for an entire week.<br />

Curriculum for the week is planned and implemented by<br />

participating teachers, with the help of an ICE School<br />

coordinator seconded by <strong>Edmonton</strong> Public Schools.<br />

During <strong>2008</strong>-<strong>09</strong>, 550 kids with 26 teachers from 24<br />

classes and over 100 parent volunteers filled the ICE<br />

School classroom and had the chance to connect<br />

learning with real life. During a year-long theme based<br />

around Teamwork, students met a variety of professionals<br />

working at Rexall Place, learned about the mechanics of<br />

how the building transforms from one event to the next,<br />

and visited the Northlands Network TV studio to learn<br />

about productions. Students also got up close and<br />

personal with the standard and thoroughbred racehorses<br />

at Northlands, traveled down 118 Avenue discussing the<br />

work in a community to make change and some learned<br />

about our deep baseball history by visiting TELUS Field.<br />

Not surprisingly, the highlight for many students was the<br />

chance to learn about ice-making first hand – by skating<br />

on Rexall Place ice!<br />

ICE School is made possible through funding from the<br />

<strong>Edmonton</strong> <strong>Oilers</strong> Community Foundation and is operated<br />

in cooperation with Northlands.<br />

FACT<br />

NOW IN ITS SEVENTH YEAR, OVER 3,500<br />

STUDENTS HAVE PASSED THROUGH <strong>THE</strong><br />

SUPPORTING HEALTH AND WELLNESS<br />

Throughout the season, the EOCF partners with <strong>Oilers</strong> players and their wives and girlfriends to produce a number of highly successful special<br />

events. In addition to contributing many hours to their personal charitable interests, the <strong>Oilers</strong> Ladies help to ensure the success of many fundraising<br />

events at Rexall Place. With your support, the <strong>Oilers</strong> Ladies raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charitable groups in our community.<br />

E d m o n t o n O i l e r s L a d i e s<br />

Caps for Cancer raised over $180,000 in<br />

support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Kids with<br />

<strong>Oilers</strong> Favourite Things raised over $30,000<br />

for the <strong>Edmonton</strong> Women’s Shelter – WIN House. Baskets of each<br />

<strong>Oilers</strong> players and gift certificates to players’ favourite restaurants.<br />

the prize or the cash on all major prizes. The Grand Prize was<br />
