A Drayton youngster and his siblings were recipients of the generosity of the Clarky’s Kids organization. Evan, Olivia and Cody Conway dropped the official opening pucks at a Kitchener Rangers game on Oct. 30.
Clarky’s Kids is a joint effort between the Kitchener Rangers Ontario Hockey League club and former Ranger and current member of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets, David Clarkson.
The organization supports children up to 16 years of age and their families in the Kitchener-Waterloo region who are dealing with childhood cancer on a daily basis.
The program provides children from Grand River Hospital’s POGO (Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario) Satellite Centre the opportunity to experience a Kitchener Rangers game and visit with players and coaches in and out of the hospital.
Drayton resident Evan Conway was diagnosed with leukemia in 2015 and continues to receive treatments.
The Conway family expressed appreciation for the opportunity to participate in the puck drop and watch the Rangers in action.
