Sting Assists provides $165K to local organizations

The Sarnia Sting's community fund, Sting Assists, has awarded 32 grant applications and eight scholarships from the 2023-2024 hockey season.

The OHL club recently held a ceremony at Imperial City Brew House to unveil the recipients, splitting $165,000.

The team said the fund's purpose is to promote and support local amateur sports, youth programs, and advance education by providing community scholarships and growing a presence through support and outreach.

Funds are raised through 50/50 sales both online and in person during Sarnia Sting home games.

The money is used to help organizations in the Sarnia-Lambton area as determined by a board of directors and a committee set up by the Sarnia Sting Community Fund – Sting Assists.
