Thursday, 12 January, 2023

Our Jim Shorkey Toyota team got the chance to help an amazing group, The Assisted Goals Foundation! Last month, we were able to donate $10,000 to this amazing organization and have a hand in helping their cause.

The Assisted Goals Foundation helps to bring the love and enjoyment of the game of hockey to all! This organization works to “provide a reprieve in the accessibility gap that exists in the hockey community.” With costs for players continuously rising, The Assisted Goals Foundation strives to help anyone, and everyone play the game of hockey, despite their family’s financial situation.

We are proud to support The Assisted Goals Foundation and we are so happy to have been able to provide a donation from the Jim Shorkey team!
