On Saturday, January 10^th MDSC paired with the Boston Bruins for Down Syndrome Awareness Day at the TD Banknorth Garden. There was a sold out crowd including over 200 people that attended in support of MDSC. It was a great game to watch with the Bruins winning 5-1 over the Carolina Hurricanes.  

MDSC had over 20 volunteers selling 50/50 raffle tickets, and with their efforts Down Syndrome Awareness Day will go down in history as the highest grossing 50/50 raffle in Bruins history. A public service announcement was played over the jumbotron and featured live footage of MDSC member Matthew Cullen and his family. At the start of the third period MDSC members Matthew Shea, James Hintlian and Brendon Whalen had a fan experience and were able to high-five the players as they entered the ice for the final period of the game.

The day was a huge success with great awareness created for the MDSC and Down syndrome and over $7,500 raised for MDSC.
