Help abused, neglected children: Watch the Aeros
March 27, 2006

HOUSTON - Come support your favorite Houston hockey team and abused and neglected children at the Krause Children’s Center Night at the Houston Aeros on April 1. Fans can sign up to take a shot-on-goal on the ice after the game!

The night kicks off with a performance by the Living Word Lutheran Band at 6:35 p.m. The puck drops at 7:35 p.m. when the Aeros take on the Peoria Riverman. For tickets, please call Cliff Owens at (713) 361-7953 or email at cowens@aeros.com. A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to Krause Children’s Center in Katy for abused and neglected children.

“This is a chance for families and friends to go have a fun night, while also supporting a great cause,” said Phillipa Ashford, chief executive officer of Krause. “The Krause children have never experienced loving, caring families, and this night is a chance to show these children that someone truly does care.”

Krause Children’s Center serves boys and girls ages 11 to 17 who suffer from severe emotional and behavioral problems, mostly as a result of past abuse and neglect. Krause provides specialized care in a secure, structured environment where residents can receive therapy, attend school, enjoy recreational activities and are offered voluntary spiritual care.

Krause is an affiliated ministry of Lutheran Social Services of the South. LSS is the social service arm of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. LSS annually serves nearly 30,000 children, elderly and poor in Texas and Louisiana regardless of religious beliefs, ethnicity, gender or age. Its ministry includes children’s centers, therapeutic foster care, adoption, adult day care, health care and retirement centers, emergency assistance and disaster response.
