Paul Sharman told his Council colleagues about an initiative that could help the most vulnerable in our city.
The U13A Blue Burlington Eagles is actively competing for the 2024 Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup and they need your help.
The Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup seeks to inspire young Canadians to do good by transforming the positive values learned through hockey into Good Deeds within their communities. The team with the most “points” will win the cup and the money will go towards the charity of our choice.
If they win, they will donate the $100,000 grand prize to the Gift of Giving Back (GOGB)(https://giftofgivingback.ca/who-we-are/burlington/).
The competition runs from Jan 19 until March 3. After 3 weeks of the competition, the U13Blue are currently in 2nd place.

As City of Burlington residents, we can work together to help this team win the cup for our city.
The team gains points when ANYONE posts a photo or video of a good deed on social media.
It’s really easy to capture a good deed. It can be anything from picking up a piece of trash, writing a nice note to a team mate or friend, buying a coffee for a stranger or capturing a picture of the clothes you just donated. You don’t even have to be in the picture. It just has to showcase the act of the good deed and a description so we know what the good deed was.
If you want to contribute a good deed, send your photos or videos to:
U13ABlueBurlingtonEagles@gmail.com and they will post it for you.
If you have a PUBLIC profile and are social media savvy, you can post on Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok or YouTube, but please remember to:
- Post it on social using #GoodDeedsCup
#Contest #u13ablueburlingtoneagles and #FillTheCup
- Be sure to tag @ChevroletCanada and @U13ABlue_BurlingtonEagles to make sure your entry gets counted.
“We can do this, Burlington”
Indeed they can – and bringing home $100,000 is not chump change.
Boys in a van on the way to a hockey game in London use the time to log in and click, click, click.
A number of years ago Kraft Foods held a contest that had thousands of young hockey players across the country clicking away. BLOMA players came in second and brought in $20,000 for the league.
It was great fun BLOMHA Executive Director on the left and John McNeil hold up the $20,000 cheque won during a drive to register clicks on the Kraft Hockey Goes On contest.
It became a family + friends drive to get the biggest numbers of clicks when BLOMA league players took part in the Kraft Foods contest.
