50/50 DRAWS 

All season long the Sea Dogs Foundation has partnered with the Shriners to administer the 50/50 draw. The Shriners have become a fixture at Sea Dogs games the Sea Dogs Foundation would like to thank the Shriners for their dedication.

Sea Dogs Commemorative Sculptures

David Bernett's Canadian Inuit and wildlife sculptures grace the private and corporate collections the world over. The Sea Dogs Foundation has recently commissioned Mr. Bernett to create a

12" X 12" granite Sea Dogs Logo sculpture to commemorate the club's recent back-to-back President Cup and Memorial Cup championship achievements. A limited supply of these is available immediately for purchase for $125.⁰⁰ through the Sea Dogs Foundation.  Each sculpture comes with an engraved acrylic stand. These make a great gift for that special Sea Dogs fan!

All funds raised from this project go towards in kind support to recognized non profit organizations in South West New Brunswick that focus on improving the quality of life for youth in the areas of education, sport, fitness, and health.

Orders can be made by contacting the Sea Dogs office at (506) 657-DOGS (3647) or by email at info@seadogsfoundation.com.
