Rebels & Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre team up

The Red Deer Rebels, supported by NOVA Chemicals, will be championing the efforts of the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre (CACAC) this week, in raising awareness for Child Abuse Prevention Month as part of the #GoBlue campaign, and funds for the operational needs of the CACAC.

Starting at 9:00 a.m. Oct. 17, until 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 22 (including both Rebel home games this week), half the proceeds from the Rebels 50/50 will be donated directly to the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre. Tickets can be purchased online 24/7, or at either home game this week.

In an effort to highlight ongoing awareness for the CACAC, officials say the Rebels and Nova Chemicals have unveiled a community partnership which includes co-branding of Nova Chemicals and the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre on both sets of Rebels player helmets, throughout the 2022-23 season.

Currently under construction at Red Deer Polytechnic, the projected 66,566 sq. ft. CACAC Centre of Excellence will be the new home of the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre, Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre, Alberta Health Services: Red Deer Child and Youth Addiction and Mental Health Outpatient Clinic, and the Step Up Step Down youth live-in addiction and mental health program.
