HAGE’S HEROES TO BRING 1,000 MEMBERS OF CITY KIDZ TO SATURDAY’S GAME
Hamilton, Ontario – In the latest component of his Hage’s Heroes community initiative, Hamilton Tiger-Cats offensive lineman Marwan Hage will welcome 1,000 members of City Kidz to the Ticats Retro game presented by Bet365.net against this Saturday at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
The 1,000 members of City Kidz, a nonprofit charitable organization that strives to help inner-city children and their families, will be outfitted in Hage’s Heroes t-shirts and will sit in sections 5 and 9. Earlier this week, 300 youths from City Kidz took part in a football clinic at Ivor Wynne Stadium hosted by Hage and a dozen of his teammates.
“I’m very excited to help 1,000 deserving members of City Kidz come down to Ivor Wynne and enjoy a Tiger-Cats game as part of my Hage’s Heroes program,” said Hage. “I would like to thank all of the program’s sponsors including Echo Freight, Great Lakes Feeder Lines, Air Whistle Media, Centre 68, and Reebok and ask that all of the people smile and proudly cheer on the Ticats this Saturday.”
Hage began his Hage’s Heroes initiative in 2006 and has helped over 3,000 underprivileged youth attend Ticats home games since the program’s inception. The program has also delivered Easter and Thanksgiving meals to food shelters and made financial contributions to Hamilton charities, including McMaster Children’s Hospital.
