Published on Thu, Nov 17, 2011 by Comcast Arena at EverettRead More County & State
Global Spectrum, management for the Comcast Arena at Everett, is kicking off this year’s giving season with record
breaking numbers. Kids’ Night Out and Pink the Rink were record breaking successes. This is only the beginning for a
season of giving here at Comcast Arena with Tilted Thunder Rail Birds next on the books.
The Tilted Thunder Rail Birds are hosting a Harvest Throw-Down this Sunday with Northwest Harvest. All guests that
bring a non-perishable food item out to the Arena on Sunday receive 50% off their admission to the event.
The Silvertips fans generated a record breaking $78,000 for the Providence Foundation at their Pink the Rink night this
year. Followed by Global Spectrum’s Kids’ Night Out Program that sent over 750 local Snohomish youth to Disney on
Ice.
“I cannot tell you how important the Kids’ Night Out program has been to our kids and their families. Most of the children
we serve are from the EHA low income housing for the City of Everett and otherwise would not have the means to
attend these events. For them to have the opportunity to go to Disney on Ice with their families is a huge deal for them
as all of their family’s money is spent on necessities. And sometimes even these basic needs are not met….I can
definitely tell you that you are making a difference in the life of a child,” Jennie Oshie, Director, Everett Boys & Girls
Club.
Sponsors that participated in the Kids’ Night Out program are: Roy Robinson Inc., Randy’s Ring & Pinion, LF Drywall
Systems Inc., Ticket Envelope Company, Northend Truck Equipment Inc., Northwest Aerospace Technology, Sheet
Metal Local #66, Bank of America, Northwest Plus Credit Union, T & C Farms Inc., Jet Stream Freight, Reliable
Hardware, Brien Ford, Lamoureux Real Estate, Eastham Foster CPA’s, Dwayne Lane, Fluke, Local Union #191 IBEW,
Hyundai of Everett, Snohomish County Labor Council, and Coin Market LLC.

Stealth have partnered with four charity organizations for the 2012 season and the Everett Silvertips have the annual
toy drive starting up on November 25, 2011.
