Andlauer Cheque

When Michael Andlauer became the owner of the Ottawa Senators one of the pillars he preached was being an active member of the Ottawa-Gatineau community. He has been a man of his word through and through thus far through events like participating in the Senators Community Foundation Charity Open with contributions (before he even owned the team), matching up to $100,000 in donations at the Senators Hockey Fights Cancer Night, and more.

This morning was just the latest example of the Andlauer family's commitment to this community. Lucie, Matthew, Alexie and Alex (Michael's wife, son, daughter and daughter-in-law), spent their morning volunteering their time collecting, sorting through and distributing snowsuits to families in need alongside volunteers at the Snowsuit Fund.

At the conclusion of a busy morning the Andlauer family presented the Snowsuit fund with a cheque for $10,500 on behald of the Senators Community Foundation to continue providing for the families in need in our community during this winter season. 

You may be thinking that $10,500 is an odd number, and you'd be right but it's for a great reason. The donation was initially for $10,000 however the Good Will Ambassadors that work every Senators heard what the Andlauer's were doing and decided to contribute $500 of their own collection alongside our community leaders. A real snowball effect of impact right here in our National Capital Region!
