Money raised from the recycled tabs will go towards purchasing new wheelchairs, motorized scooters and walkers.

“For the Guelph Storm, the chance to be part of such a wonderful cause by bringing our fans together with longtime partners like Sleeman Breweries and local Legion branches is such an exciting opportunity,” said Matt Newby, the team’s vice-president of business operations.
