Causes we care about

Companions in Courage

The Companions in Courage Foundation was founded by NHL Hall of Famer, Pat LaFontaine as a way to connect hospitalized children with their family, friends and heroes. The CIC charity builds interactive playrooms in hospitals and delivers mobile XBox 360 kiosks to patients' bedsides throughout North America. Our mission is quite simple. No child in the fight for life or health should ever have to go through it alone.
