MONTREAL — Hockey-playing employees and friends of Westmount Moving laced up against the CHOM/CJAD/Virgin 96 Mighty Yuks Hockey Club in a March 10 charity game at the Lower Canada College arena in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce to raise funds for the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Soon after the puck had dropped, more than 120 Westmount Moving friends and family members entered the arena, flash mob style.

“The main goal of this surprise was to raise awareness and collect donations for the children’s hospital, and we did,” as Audrey Gilbert of Westmount Moving wrote to Applause. “A total of $4,074.65 was raised through this flash mob in one day!”

The money was raised a few ways: Each hockey player was responsible for raising a minimum of $125, people paid $5 apiece to be part of the flash mob and donations were collected at the arena. A 50/50 draw raised $264, which meant $132 for the foundation.

The Mighty Yuks Hockey Club is in its 20th season of playing hockey and giving back to the community. Westmount Moving has been part of the event for a decade.

Last Sunday Westmount Moving played a charity game against The Mighty Yuks from CHOM/VIRGIN/CJAD radio.

The Might Yuks play every Sunday to raise money for the Montreal Children’s Hospital. This year marked our 10th year playing the game and we wanted to do something special. So we organised a flash mob. Over 130 people stormed the arena and made for an afternoon that all the players on the ice will never forget.

Please feel free to share it with friends and family that might be interested. A huge thanks to the Mighty Yuks and all those that participated to make this into such a memorable event. We raised over $4000 for the Children’s Hospital on that day alone!
