9th Annual Coloring Contest

Area elementary school students showcased their creativity by personalizing their own Comets coloring pages. Thanks to the Save of the Day Foundation, they had the chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes and exclusive experiences.

The Adaptive Edge Skating Program

Our tailored skating program offers a person-centered approach to children aged 2 to 16 who face physical, communication, and/or cognitive challenges that might hinder their participation in traditional skating clubs. Emphasizing customized programs for each participant, our initiative not only cultivates skating skills but also nurtures social abilities and self-confidence.

Veteran’s Day Game

Save of the Day remains steadfast in its support for our Veterans. At our annual Veteran’s Day game, proceeds from specialty jersey auctions were generously donated to benefit Veterans. Additionally, Save of the Day proudly sponsored giveaway hats for all Veterans in attendance, honoring their service and sacrifice.
