Program Acadia University 550 Main Street Wolfville, NS, Canada B4P 2R6 Shoot, Score, S.M.I.L.E! S Thank You! hoot, Score, S.M.I.L.E. was a resounding success this year! For the second year, a group of fourth year Kinesiology students took on this fundraising initiative for the S.M.I.L.E. Program as part of their Senior Seminar class. Leading up to the November 26th Acadia Axemen hockey game, tickets for a raffle were sold, with the grand prize winner having the chance to shoot a puck at the net for a chance to win a portion of the raffle proceeds. Jenna MacLean was the lucky winner and got the chance to shoot to win! In addition to the grand prize shot, on the night of the event a silent auction was held, with proceeds from the auction going to the S.M.I.L.E. program. Great prizes were won, including an autographed Carey Price jersey and a jersey signed by all members of the Acadia Axemen hockey team! Thank you to everyone who made this event a success, from buying raffle tickets, bidding on silent auction items and donating money and prizes. A special thank you goes out to the organizers of this event, Kyle Ritchie, Taylor Makin, Geoffrey Schemitsch, Kyla White and Michael Clarke. Page 2
