Kelowna’s Players Choice Sports has always been a big supporter of the Homebase Charity Slo-Pitch Tournament, which features several NHL players who hail from or reside in the Okanagan.
The event, which raises money for JoeAnna’s House, has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Players Choice Sports has decided to put on a virtual event to raise some money anyway.
The business will be hosting a Facebook Live auction on Friday, June 5, and 100% of the proceeds from the sports cards and memorabilia sales will go to JoeAnna’s House. Players Choice has been conducting online sports card auctions two or three times a week since it closed its doors in April, but all the money on June 5 will be going to charity.
JoeAnna’s House is located next to Kelowna General Hospital and provides a home away from home for families whose loved ones are in the hospital.
Players Choice hopes to raise $3,000 during the event, which begins at 7 p.m.
