The Murphy Family Foundation partners with the Trail Smoke Eaters and local schools and hosts Smokies in Our Schools each hockey season. Local schools participate by selecting a Smokies game night, packing the arena and engaging with their school, staff and community!
Participating schools have a chance to take home an incredible $5,000 donation from the Murphy Family Foundation with great prize money also awarded to second and third-place schools.
Since the start of the initiative in 2018, the Smokies in the School donations from the Murphy Family Foundation have exceeded $114,000 USD. This contribution to area schools reflects the Murphy Family Foundation’s support and commitment to Greater Trail and surrounding communities and strives to provide opportunities that will empower and encourage youth.
Every school has embraced its night and made it their own, planning school assemblies, classroom competitions, students/teachers riding the Fanboni, students singing the national anthem, taking part in the intermission contests and so much more!
We look forward to working with your school again this season, planning another fun Smokies in Our Schools night!
