“We’re proud to offer our fans the ability to make a difference and be active participants in the Railers Month of Giving,” Railers President Kim Golinski said in the announcement. “As a hockey club, we believe it is important to have our fans participate in our community first approach.”
The winning nonprofit receives $5,000 donation and be recognized during the Railers’ opening night game Oct. 18 against the Maine Mariners at the DCU Center.
Fans who submit nominations are also be entered to win a four-pack of tickets to the Oct. 18 home opener. Nominations open Oct. 1 through forms linked on the Railers’ social media accounts.
The initiative is an extension of the Railers’ “Month of Giving,” which focuses on community support and outreach.
The team’s 2025–26 season kicks off with back-to-back games at the DCU Center, Oct. 18 against Maine and Oct. 19 against the Adirondack Thunder.
