The Windsor Spitfires Foundation donated $1,988 to the Transition to Betterness Foundation prior to puck drop in the 3rd period of Thursday night’s game against the Sarnia Sting, on behalf of the 1985 to 1995 Windsor Spitfires Alumni and specifically the 1988 OHL Championship club. 

Transition to Betterness is a non-profit organization that provides relief to patients and families dealing with a life-altering disease.

T2B’s programs operate mainly within local hospitals and healthcare facilities in Windsor and Essex County. Co-founder Doris Lapico and Events and Public Relations Manager, Alessia Frighetto were on-hand to accept the donation.

“We try and make the patients comfortable, we take a holistic approach,” Lapico said. "We’re really excited that we’ve partnered up with the Windsor Spitfires Foundation and we’re really fortunate to have the support from the Spitfires. Not only are we fans, but it legitimizes what they do in the community. They’re big fans of us and they have been very loyal and share our mission of helping people in the community that battle cancer.”

There are more than 200 volunteers working for T2B who provide an important bridge between the hospital and home care for patients with life-altering illnesses.
