DEAR FRIENDS, FAMILIES,FANS- The FOFA Hockey Fundraiser Event Game itself was a 3 year commitment(2014,15,16) in alliance with the desires of EK Varsity Coach Shawn Jensen. The 3 year term is done, therefore the event game & fund raiser will not take place in 2017.

This fb page however, will remain active so our viewers & fans can reminisce the event & access precious event photos. This fund raiser each year successfully earned a sizable monetary donation benefitting the KPS AI Classroom Program, and/or other community based scholarship programs for children from Kentwood, with autism, needing a therapy service.

Per EK administration & the Ice Arena , FOFA was typically the "biggest ticket gate" of the EK Varsity Hockey season for 3 years running. Over 500 fans flocked to the event yearly! It was a fan & crowd pleaser! It was a highly engaging, charitable event for the Varsity Hockey Team, KOS & community at large. It was a great success for the team & community.

Steven and I(Anne) were delighted to spear head this event for the 3 years running.
Thank you to the many who helped us create the venue, (especially Lee & Nancy Mowery) & to support FACE OFF FOR AUTISM for 3 years, the fund raising event hockey game! Support autism awareness! 🏒
