Ice Wolves raise over $53,285 to help feed Ukrainian children

The New Mexico Ice Wolves announced that the special support Ukraine jerseys efforts brought in $53,285 for the Feed My Starving Children organization to provide 220,020 meals for Ukrainians impacted by the war.

The game-worn jerseys auction on DASH Auctions raised $15,068 with 100% of the auction price going to the Feed My Starving Children organization along with an additional $38,217 contributed directly by fans and supporters in New Mexico.

The special jerseys were created by K1 Sportswear and the team wore them in a home game series against the Odessa Jackalopes on April 15, following a moving pre-game ceremony with members of Ukrainian Americans of New Mexico. To view and download high resolution photos of the special support Ukraine jerseys please visit the NM Ice Wolves press page here.
