3rd Annual Memorial Hockey Fundraiser
As we step into planning for this year’s activities, we’re energized by the generosity that continues to lift young athletes and fuel our mission. Your support is already making a powerful difference in 2026—opening doors for children who might otherwise never have the chance to step onto the rink, build confidence, and discover what they’re capable of. The momentum you’ve helped create is truly inspiring, and we’re excited to share the impact and progress unfolding because of this incredible TEAM of supporters.

This year’s event will begin with a Tribute Hockey Game in honor of Connor at the Ashburn Ice House at 4:00 p.m. Anyone who would like to play is more than welcome to join, and if you don’t play hockey, we still need fans—so come grab a seat in the bleachers and cheer the players on.
Following the game, we’ll gather in the conference room at Riverside Presbyterian Church for dinner, catered by Carolina Brothers Pit BBQ, along with a raffle and silent auction. If you’d like to contribute an item to the silent auction or raffle, please let us know. We’ll be happy to include your logo and contact information on our website as a thank‑you for your support. Details to come at www.connordwyer.org/events-1 or follow us on Facebook at Connor J Dwyer Memorial Hockey Fund
