A co-worker is heavily involved in this charity and is looking to obtain a small sponsorship between $1000 - $2500 or a contra deal. If  you or anyone you know are interested, please contact me, I'll pass along the proper contact infor.  If not, all I ask is that you tweet, blog, or tell a friend if you believe in this cause. :)

Five Hole For Food is a registered society and started as a hockey trip across Canada but then road hockey enthusiast, and pilot of the trip Richard Loat, thought that it could be so much more. The concept of incorporating some sort of charity to benefit local communities led to a discussion with a friend and thus the name “Five Hole for Food” was coined. From there it has evolved into a social media effort of networks and partners to create a cross country food drive where hockey fans play a variation of the game and the local community benefits.


After putting the word out to bloggers and hockey fans alike, Richard rounded up a team of bloggers in the local cities who have come on board to support the cause. Five Hole For Food features fans of a variety of Canadian hockey team sand the trip stops in each NHL city as well as in cities that don’t have an NHL Franchise. The trip unites fans of the Canucks, Canadiens, Leafs, Oilers, Flames and Senators for one cause in the name of the greatest sport on earth.

In the trip’s first year it spanned a period of 10 days; the first ball dropped in Montreal on June 29th and then travel west hitting Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, and Victoria before the last ball dropped on the final game in Vancouver. The trip has now expanded to include Atlantic Canada and the 2011 tour will see added stops in Saint John’s, Halifax, Charlottetown, and Saint John. The trip starts June 23rd and will end on July 9th after another whirlwind few weeks of hockey, blogging, and tweeting! This is a coming together of fans and of teams as we partner with hockey teams in each of the local cities at the NHL, AHL and ECHL level to promote a food drive the likes of which this country has never seen before!
