Adopt A School Program

The Prince George Cougars Adopt-a-School program was a partnership developed in 2009 between local businesses, Prince George elementary schools and the Prince George Cougars. The program aims at recognizing and rewarding local elementary students who contribute to improving themselves and their schools.

Thanks to our 2011/2012 sponsors Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines, IRL Supplies, PCL Construction & Prince George Free Press, for making it possible for children throughout Prince George to attend a Cougars game with a parent.

If you are interested in sponsoring an elementary school for the 2012/2013 season, phone the Cougars office at 250-561-0783.

School Adoption

Businesses are paired with a specific school for the entire season; schools are chosen by the sponsor business, if desired, or designated by the Prince George Cougars. 

A school may be sponsored by only one business per season in order to ensure that the Adopt a School program benefits as many students as possible.  

The opportunity exists for local businesses, small, medium or large, to connect with students on a unique interactive level. Regular communication is made with the schools by our coordinators and the emphasis is placed on the sponsor of the adopted school.  

Schools will focus on using the tickets to reward students for improving themselves or their schools; this may include academic or athletic achievement, random acts of kindness, volunteer work, or any other criteria agreed upon by the sponsor business and school.  

The tickets can be used to enhance current programs already offered by the sponsor school.

School Feedback

"The youth and adult season tickets we received allowed families who might not have been able to otherwise attend games to enjoy a family hockey experience. All of our tickets were used and we had a waiting list for tickets should someone be unable to use the tickets they signed up for. It was a very popular activity for our families." Kathy Richardson, Principal, Aboriginal Choice School (sponsored by Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines Community Investment Program)

"Our students and families enjoy receiving PG Cougar hockey tickets as part of our student positive weekly recognition draws.  The children get excited to go the game and cheer for our home team with their family.  As well, we have lots students who are PG Cougar fans and love hockey.  In fact, at recess and lunch many kids play mini-sticks and pretend they are the PG Cougars. We greatly appreciate IRL Supplies continued sponsorship.  Please know that you have brightened the day of many Pinewood children as well as their families who get excited to win PG Cougar hockey tickets."  Debbie Kaban, Principal, Pinewood Elementary School (sponsored by IRL Supplies)
