All proceeds benefit the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation which strives to meet the health and educational needs of children, with a focus on underserved populations, and to strengthen youth hockey in our community. During the 2018-19 season, the Foundation proudly awarded $450,000 in cash grants to 25 children's nonprofits and youth hockey organizations in North Carolina.
"As a Raleigh-based company, we are always looking for ways to give back to our local community," said Jason McDonell, Chief Marketing Officer, Advance Auto Parts. "Supporting the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation through the Skate with the Canes program creates an unforgettable experience for fans, while raising much-needed funding for underserved communities throughout North Carolina."
"We are thrilled to have Advance Auto Parts be our presenting sponsor for Skate with the Canes," said Jon Chase, Hurricanes Vice President of Community Outreach and Executive Director of the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation. "Headquartered in Raleigh, NC, we value Advance Auto Parts dedication to our community as agents of change serving as the first presenting sponsor for this event. Thanks to their commitment, all of our Carolina Hurricanes Foundation fundraisers are graciously supported by corporate sponsors this season."
