February 21, 2007 - AUSTIN, Texas – February 20, 2007 – Sage Advisory Services, a national investment management and financial advisory firm located in Austin, Texas, is co-sponsoring the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s exhibition hockey game benefit at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 25, 2007 at Chaparral Ice Center in Austin, Texas. The sponsorship is another example of Sage Advisory’s dedication to The University of Texas Longhorn hockey team since its president co-founded the team in 2000 – and to youth hockey in Austin.
This unique event will pit the UT Longhorns against the Austin Roadrunner Mini-Mites (ages 4-8) in what’s bound to be an exciting and hilarious match of speed, wits and, well, height. Proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
But for Sage Advisory, this is more than just an event, it’s an ongoing commitment to Austin’s’ youth and sports.
“For Sage, hockey is a family affair,” said Robert Smith, Sage Advisory’s president and CIO. “I co-founded the UT Longhorn hockey team six years ago because of my personal love for the sport, and I’ve coached the team every season since. Our operations executive, Cameron McDonald, is assistant coach, and our marketing professional, Greg Siemankowski is coaching the Mini-Mites for the second season.”
“It’s going to be great fun,” he continued. “There will be lots of kids, giveaways, contests, an auction… and the unprecedented match between the UT Longhorns and Roadrunner Mini-Mites. And it’s all to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation and sick children who deserve to have their special wishes granted.”
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. It is the largest wish-granting organization in the world, and locally the Central & South Texas chapter has granted more than 2,200 wishes since its establishment.
The exhibition hockey game benefit will take place at Chaparral Ice Center, located at 14200 IH 35, Austin, Texas, and is open to all ages.
Tickets are $5 at the door or can be purchased in advance by contacting Event Coordinator Sandi Jones at sandinicoles ( @ ) gmail dot com dot
