Dick Murphy-Dalton Guyette Memorial Youth Project - 2015
The Lil Knights Club will be partnering with the Clarkson University Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams to help raise monetary donations for The Memorial Youth Project at the upcoming Golden Knight games at Cheel Arena on January 31.
The Memorial Youth Project raises funds to award scholarships for youth who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate in various activities, throughout the North Country community.
The Lil Knights will be collecting donations for the project in the Cheel Campus Center lobby and inside the arena during the Clarkson Women’s Hockey game against Brown, which starts at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 31, and at the Golden Knights Men’s game against St. Lawrence, which follows later that night at 7:00 p.m.
Since its inception 10 years ago, The Dick Murphy/Dalton Guyette Memorial Youth Project has grown by leaps and bounds. Originating in Potsdam, the Project now has programs in Canton, Colton, Parishville, Norwood, St. Regis Falls and Madrid, and hopes to move throughout St. Lawrence County. The Project has awarded scholarships to an average of 140-150 children each year. In addition to sports scholarships which may include registration fees and equipment cost, the Project has also awarded scholarships for Girls Scouts, AP Classes, art lessons, academic activities and musical pursuits along with providing transportation.
The Memorial Youth Project provides children the opportunities for happier, healthier, more well-rounded and productive lives in our North Country Community.
Look for the Lil Knights with their green donation buckets at the January 31st Clarkson Hockey games to contribute to this worthwhile program, or made a check payable to Memorial Youth Project and send to C/O Murphy, 103 Elm Street, Potsdam, NY 13676.
