During the 2005-06 Thunderwolves Hockey season; Fountain Tire and Musselwhite Mine placed their fundraising goals on the hockey sticks of the Lakehead University Thunderwolves Mens Ice Hockey Team. The two businesses agreed to donate $15 each to the George Jeffrey Childrens Foundation for every goal scored on home ice during the regular season in the first Score For More charity promotion. At the end of that season, the Thunderwolves had racked up 102 goals for a total donation of $3060.

This past season; both Fountain Tire and Musselwhite Mine again put their money where the goals were and the 2006-07 season saw the Wolves score 86 goals at home for a total of 2500 dollars to be donated to the George Jeffrey Childrens Foundation.

Both Fountain Tire and Musselwhite Mine are long time supporters of the George Jeffrey Childrens Foundations capital fundraising campaign and have enjoyed finding interesting ways to donate money and Thunderwolves Hockey is very proud to be the vehicle for this very worthy cause.

Fountain Tire Thunder Bay Manager Darcy Hunter said his company is proud to be a partner in such a worthy cause. Fountain Tire's partnership with Musslewhite Mine in the Score For More promotion with the Thunderwolves allows us to commit to our community, which we both feel very strongly about. This promotion is done in a fashion that is fun to be a part of and is a great way to bring awareness to worthy charities such as the George Jeffrey foundation."

Thunderwolves Hockey Executive Director Jason Mallon said the Wolves are proud to be a part of it. Fountain Tire and Musselwhite Mines have found a unique way to give back to the George Jeffrey Children's Foundation and it is a pleasure to be associated with two caring companies such as these.
