On November 10, as part of “Hockey Fights Cancer” month, the Capitals hosted a skating session with Make-A-Wish Mid Atlantic. For this event, each kid was paired with a player. This was an incredible experience for the kids, as many of them are fans of the team and have not even skated before.
“Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic is lucky to partner with the Washington Capitals each year to not only grant the wishes of kids who wish to meet members of the team, be a part of the team or have a Capitals team experience – but also as they extensively support wish kids on a broader scale,” said Tara Wilson-Jones, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic.
