Fans can already show their support for the cause by donating online at

or by texting "HABS" to 45678 to make a $10 donation. From 4:30 p.m. until the end of the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers, Canadiens Alumni, spouses of current players and Quebec personalities will collect donations from the public over the phone. Supporters who donate $50 or more will automatically receive a souvenir photo of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield or Arber Xhekaj as a thank you. Interac Corp had already kickstarted this fundraising campaign last week by committing to match the first $10,000 in donations made by the public.
In support of the RadioTéléDON, Habs players will be wearing special prior to the game on Thursday. Designed by artist Benoit Tardif, these warmup jerseys will highlight the Foundation's programs and initiatives, which allow thousands of youth from low-income neighborhoods to discover the benefits of physical activity each year. In order to evoke camaraderie and team spirit, which are values embodied by the Foundation on a daily basis, nicknames of players will exceptionally appear on the back of these jerseys. Certain elements of the sweater will also pay homage to Montreal, where the Foundation was founded in 2000 and where nearly half of the
BLEU BLANC BOUGE rinks
have been built to this day. As a result, iconic local landmarks and symbols, such as the Olympic Stadium and Mount Royal, as well as a smoked meat sandwich and bagel, can be found on one of the shoulder patches. These collectible items are already up for auction at
radioteledon.bidandraise.com
and fans have until Tuesday, March 14 at 7:00 p.m. to place their bids.
