The Cycle of Giving Back
The DAWG Nation Wrap Around Effect not only helps those in need, but also brings the hockey community closer together. Our 8 steps, outlined above, serve to provide immediate aid to individuals and families in times of need as well as introduce recipients to our ever-growing program.
Many recipients end up continuing to donate and provide support to the hockey community after they themselves have received aid. The hockey community looks out for one another, and we’re proud to be able to assist.
