Hockey Helps The Homeless Scores Yet Another Successful Year

Vice President of Cameron Homes Rose Naqvi-Parasynchuk and General Manager Darcey Parasynchuk shut out this year's Hockey Helps The Homeless with nearly $250,000 raised. Originating in Toronto in 1996, Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) leverages Canada's love for hockey to raise awareness and financial support for the homeless. As co-chairs alongside former NHL goaltender Ron Low and wife Linda, Rose and Darcey have led the Edmonton chapter for 5 years, with this year's efforts dedicated to support programs, services, and education at The Mustard Seed and Jasper Place Wellness Centre. The tournament was held on May 10, 2019 with Dean McAmmond, Dennis Polonich, Georges Laraque and other former NHL players participating in the event.

Building communities is a pillar of Cameron Homes and Cameron Corporation; having a safe place to call home for homeless and at-risk Edmontonians inspires Cameron Corporation to continue to play an essential role in Hockey Helps the Homeless year after year. Cameron Corporation would like to thank its tenants and other donors who contributed to this cause through sizable silent auction items such as: The Rec Room South Common, Pampa Brazillian Steakhouse Ellerslie Crossing, The Captains Boil South Common, Browns Socialhouse, Currents Sun & Swimwear, Alcanna Wine & Beyond, Clean Car Wash, Heart of the HOME, and The Canadian Brewhouse.

We asked Rose and Darcey to share their most memorable moment from this year's tournament:

Rose: my most memorable moment from the tournament was [seeing] great-grandparents aged 88 and 94 coming out to cheer on their son-in-law and granddaughter whom were playing in the tournament.

Darcey: getting to hand out with Dean McAmmond in the dressing room.

Darcey came 1st as top fundraiser with $10,000 raised and Cameron Homes placing 2nd on the teams division with $26,000.
