General Admission is $5 and will goto Madison Goss (a 3 year old with a rare form of liver cancer we have been raising money for) http://www.tampabays10.com/news/local/article.aspx?s=search&storyid=48697

An USF alumni from Atlanta contacted us and he will be doing media coverage via CBS for us up there at our Ice Bulls party the USF Atlanta Alumni Association is having for us! They are also unvieling the jersey we signed and sent to them that is framed at their local USF gathering place! We hope to have $2500 and 60 toys by Thurs. when we leave. We have put together gift packages full of Bulls gear and goodies for Madi, her brothers, mom and dad. We can not wait to have the Goss family and friends cheering us on at our first game at Regionals! I am collecting donations at Tampa campus and St. Pete tomorrow, please contact me if you are interested in donating and I can swing by. Thank you everyone who has sent checks or donated at the game! The Goss family will really appreciate it!

We raised another $70 inside the gym at IM basketball tonight from the Greeks. The school would not let the players stand outside the basketball game this afternoon with signs and buckets for Madison. Some people had asked why we were not out there, we could not get permission for it. We are $730 short of our goal Please help support Madi! total raised: $1770.21

thank you everyone for coming out and bringing friends! We are really excited to visit Madi and her family in Atlanta. We have gotten her and her little brothers USF gear and her 2 little brothers (and father) will be at one of our games at regionals. USF just made 5 new Bull fans! Please continue to donate so we can reach our goal of $2500. We also are making care packages for her parents- and gift packages for her and her brothers (4 and 7) if you would like to donate gift cards (walmart, grocery stores, etc), toys, books or anything else you think would be good for their family at this time.

oh the score was 17-1 I believe. And the Ice Bulls are now currently 17-4 going into Regionals Feb 1st-4th in Atlanta, Georgia.

With 1 mail donation, Friday night game and tonight's we raised $1700! We will be taking donations for Madi until we leave for regionals on Thursday. Our goal is $2500!

Early Birds- hockey coverage in the AM. The best estimate is between 5:37-5:50 and 6:37-6:50 for the 3 min segment, they are live so both will be different. Come support Madison on Saturday!

The coverage is for Thursday, tomorrow- each segment should run about 3 minutes each.

Channel 10 will be airing LIVE segments on the 5:30am and 6:30am news on THURSDAY. They will be showing practie, talking about our birth into regionals and our charity event for Madison this Sat. Could someone tape this for me, as I will be there and unable to tape it, so we can put it on our website. Please see Hockey Charity post for more information about our charity event for Madison Goss.
