Real Men Wear Pink

Kudos to the Belleville Bulls for an outstanding event on Saturday night.


The Bulls joined other OHL teams like the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors, Erie Otters and Plymouth Whalers by holding a Pink in the Rink night to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society and Breast Cancer Awareness.


The night was an unmitigated success thanks to the efforts of Kim, Bernie, Dave and Michelle in the Bulls' office along with a bunch of volunteers that helped out during he event.


There were a number of fund raising initiatives throughout the night, including some ticket sales, merchandise sales and a pass the bucket but the hit of the night was clearly the game-worn pink jerseys that the Bulls sported against the Saginaw Spirit.


They held a live auction after the game and brought in more than $35,000! That number blew away all expectations for the event from the Bulls and showed what kind of support there is from this community for the team.
