CHOCO

The Ducks will raise funds and awareness for CHOC Children's Hospital (CHOC) by hosting CHOC Night today when the club faces the Colorado Avalanche at Honda Center (1 p.m.). Ducks fans are invited to participate in CHOC Night in a variety of ways, including a silent auction with Ducks memorabilia and a 'text to donate' campaign.

Today's CHOC Night celebrates a 13-year partnership between the Anaheim Ducks and CHOC. Fans attending or watching Sunday's Fox Sports West telecast can donate to CHOC in a number of ways. Text "CHOC" to "71777," and a specified donation will be made to the hospital. Fans will also have the opportunity to bid on silent auction items at Section 218, including goalie, defense and offense baskets. Fans can purchase limited edition Choco bears wearing player-autographed mini Ducks jerseys prior to the game at section 219 along with special CHOC Night t-shirts beginning at 11:30 a.m.
CHOC's Chief Marketing Officer Cynthia Neiman will be featured on both the Ducks television and radio broadcasts, highlighting the longtime partnership between CHOC and the Anaheim Ducks, and how the collaboration supports CHOC's efforts to protect the magic of childhood. During the game, CHOC patients and physicians will have the opportunity to be a part of in-game elements such as riding the Zamboni, Honorary Duck, and honorary puck drop. CHOC Children's signage will also be prevalent in-game on the center-hung scoreboard screens, as well as on StadiumVision screens throughout the concourses on all three Honda Center levels.
