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 />

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 />

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 />

<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 />
