Life-Giving Blood, by registering with the National Marrow Donor Program,
and by helping with this fundraiser whose proceeds benefit both the

Donate. Play. Give. |
The
second annual Give Blood Play Hockey Inline Hockey Charity Tournament (GBPH
2008) will be held at the 949 Roller Hockey Center on October 3rd, 4th and 5th
and draw hundreds of hockey players and their families, fans and community
supporters devoted to helping charitable causes including Children's Hospital of
Orange County (CHOC), the Orange County Blood Bank and the National Marrow Donor
foundation through our Be A Hero, Become A Donor program, all while having fun in a
carnival-like environment.
Proven by the results of 2007, this tournament is a marquis roller hockey event
unique from any other and shouldn't be missed! Tournament attendance included 50
youth, high school and adult teams from across the state to compete for the
perennial Blood Cup. When not rink side, attendees toured vendor booths, watched
raffles and enjoyed fun family events. On Saturday afternoon, Ryan Getzlaf of
the 2007 Stanley Cup winners, the Anaheim Ducks, spoke before an eager crowd of
players later joining them for photo opportunities and an autograph session. The
GBPH 2007 event was covered by local broadcast media and received attention in
national magazine coverage and internet articles. GBPH 2008 proves to be even
better and will again be filled with fun events, celebrity citings, and more!
GBPH 2008 has a few surprises for attendees in the works... Aside from a
record-breaking registration of teams making for top-notch competition, there will be skills contests on
both Saturday and Sunday with cheer support from the Power Players of the
Anaheim Ducks and the Aliso Niguel Drill Team (Sunday) watching best shot and
other match-ups, Video games for kids of all ages, food and merchandise vendors
and raffles galore: Ducks ticket packages (including a several top-rated seat
packages and a Suite package Valued
at $6,500, bidding for this item will start at $2,500), Kings tickets, Chargers tickets, and even Autographed Ducks
merchandise, Golf package,
Lodging packages, Hockey Gear, Apparel items, Electronics, student specials of
a full ACT or SAT class and College Admissions Counseling, and much, much
more!
Hosted by the 949 Roller Hockey Center in Irvine, CA and an all-volunteer group
of inspired organizers whose Hockey With A Heart spirit is the foundation of
this annual event, GBPH is also a serious hockey tournament with a serious
purpose! With modest goals to start, tournament founder Mary Quayle and her many
supporters and volunteers succeeded last year in raising $32,000 for the
Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and 107 pints of life-giving blood
in a blood drive for the Orange County Blood Bank. With all this fun, it's also
fun to give back!
This year's pledges to Give Blood have already exceeded our expectations, but
our community needs more! Won't you please give, too?
We're also proud to be the first organization ever to sponsor the Be A Hero, Become A Donor
(BAHBAD)
and National Marrow Donor
Program by helping to pay for donor registrations from tournament proceeds.
For those who have already pledged to register, and even those who have pledged
their dollars to help defray costs for registering others, we
thank you for help in this worthy cause. For those who were part of our first
annual tournament, you will recognize this program to be an on-going tribute to
the memory of Evan Cousineau.

Having Fun with us in 2008!
