Lunch Box Giveaway and Skate with the Team the day after Christmas
Condors play back-to-back games at home on Dec. 26 and 27

Bakersfield, Calif. – The Bakersfield Condors, host of the 2010-11 ECHL All-Star Classic and ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, bring their four-game winning streak back to the Mercy and Memorial Hospitals Home Ice at Rabobank Arena to host the Stockton Thunder on Dec. 26 and 27.

On Sunday, Dec. 26, the Condors host Stockton for Lunch Box Tin Giveaway, sponsored by ABC23, La Preciosa 105.3, and American Business Machines. The first 2,000 kids age 12 and Condors Lunch Boxunder will receive a Condors Tin Lunch Box. The Condors will also be holding a Boxing Day Collection, where fans can celebrate Canadian Boxing Day by boxing up their items to donate to Goodwill Industries.

Boxing Day is celebrated on Dec. 26 in Canada, as well as many European nations. Traditionally, it is a time to remember those in need. The holidays bring about new gifts, and empty boxes, so pack up some old items and donate them at the game. It is also customary to attend sporting events!
