Adult Hockey Tournament to Benefit Berkshire Humane Society

Community submissionPrint Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The annual Berkshire Charity Draft Tournament is set to take place Sept. 13 and 14 at the Peter W. Foote Vietnam Veterans Memorial Rink.
 
The event will bring together hockey enthusiasts and local community members to raise funds for the Berkshire Humane Society, a local animal shelter dedicated to rescuing and caring for animals in need.
 
The tournament will showcase the talent and sportsmanship of participating teams. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a weekend of action-packed hockey while supporting a worthy cause.
 
During the tournament organizers will be collecting food and supplies for Berkshire Humane Society at the rink. Donations of pet food, blankets, toys, and other essential items are greatly appreciated and will directly benefit the shelter's residents.
 
The success of the event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Key West Lounge, Stafford Green Farm, and Amy's Cottage. Their contributions have been instrumental in making this tournament a reality and ensuring that all proceeds go directly to supporting the animals at Berkshire Humane Society.
 
Join us for a weekend of fun, competition, and community spirit as we come together to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. For more information about the tournament and how you can contribute, please visit https://www.facebook.com/Berkshirehockeyclub
 
Games will take place all day Saturday and Sunday with the championship game at 3 p.m. Sunday.
