Making a Difference on and off the Ice
Giving Back This Holiday Season: Spotlight on Hockey Helps the Homeless
Friday, December 13th, 2024, we’re thrilled to share that Foundation BTS is hitting the ice for Hockey Helps the Homeless!
The event brings together teams from across the community to raise funds and awareness for homelessness in York Region, reminding us of the power of teamwork both on and off the rink.
The holiday season is a time for giving, reflecting, and coming together as a community. Their mission to address homelessness inspires us to take action and give back during this season of hope and generosity. Together, we can make a lasting impact by supporting those who need it most.
What Is Hockey Helps the Homeless?
Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) is more than just a game.
It’s an annual initiative where hockey enthusiasts—amateurs and pros alike—come together to raise funds for local organizations that support those experiencing homelessness.
Every dollar raised stays in the community, providing critical resources like shelter, food, and support services for individuals and families in need.
Why This Matters:
Did you know that on any given night, more than 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness?
In York Region, this issue often goes unseen but remains a pressing challenge. HHTH brings visibility to this crisis while fostering a spirit of collaboration and generosity.
At Foundation BTS, we recognize the importance of creating stable foundations—not just for technology, but for people and communities. This aligns with HHTH’s work to ensure everyone has access to safety and dignity.

The Holiday Spirit in Action
As we wrap up another year, let’s remember that even small actions can create big ripples of change.

Every effort, no matter how small, brings us closer to a world where everyone has a place to call home.
From all of us at Foundation BTS, thank you for joining us in spreading the holiday spirit. Together, we can skate towards a brighter future for everyone.
