Augusta Lynx

Description

And for the past eight years, the Augusta Lynx have helped to raise more than $1 million for area charities and community groups.

That tradition continues in 2006-07 as the Augusta Lynx strive to continue making a positive impact on the Augusta-Aiken Metro area.

The Lynx welcome any interested parties to participate in our Community Outreach Programs. Our main objective and responsibility is to get the professional athlete out into the community as a positive role model.

The Augusta Lynx Community Outreach Program is designed to help enrich our local environment by offering personal appearances by Augusta Lynx professional athletes and front office personnel.

Local business groups, charitable foundations, medical facilities, unions, schools, and all organized functions are asked to take advantage of this Outreach program by scheduling speaking engagements, visits, and hockey clinics.

The Lynx also offer donations such as tickets, autographed memorabilia and merchandise to community organizations for fundraising.

So how can you help the Augusta Lynx help your cause?

Requests for donations and/or player appearances may be sent by FAX to the Lynx Community Relations Department at 706-724-2423, or by email to our Community Relations Manager Cari Weaver at cweaver@augustalynx.com.

Or, simply use our convenient form on this Web site. Roll your mouse over the "IN THE COMMUNITY" button on the left, then choose the "Donation/Player Appearance" Request" submenu and fill out the form, and one of our staff members will contact you.

Requests for appearances by "Louie the Lynx" and the Stokes-Hodges Lynx Avalanche vehicle can also be made on this Web site by clicking on the corresponsing buttons to the left.

It is the Lynx objective to fulfill all requests based on scheduling availability.
