Despite having to play in front of reduced crowds, and in some cases no crowds at all due to the remnants of COVID- 19, the Belleville Senators were still able to contribute more than $170,000 to community organizations in the Bay of Quinte area.
The B-Sens issued a press release that said, “While players, coaches and staff were limited when it came to in-person community interaction this past season, the Belleville Sens were still able to make significant contributions through initiatives like CAA Chuck-A-Puck, Sens Community Foundation 50/50 draw, Community Heroes Night, the Food Drive Night, Hockey Fights Cancer Night in support of the Belleville General Hospital Foundation, Military Appreciation Night, the Sens Friends Ticket Program and others.
That eclipses the team’s community donation total for its last full season in Belleville, when $154,000 was given back to organizations in the Bay of Quinte Region in 2019 – 2020. Aside from some in-kind donations, the team did not run traditional fundraisers during the shortened 2020 season, when the Senators played out of Ottawa.
