The GOODS from Cavalier
Vancouver, BC | To mark their one year anniversary, Cavalier: The Fine Jewellery Shoppe is launching the inaugural Cavalier Cup, an outdoor hockey tournament at Sunset Beach, on Saturday, August 16th. Proceeds from this annual event will benefit and raise awareness for ALS BC.
Along with great food and beverages, spectators will enjoy a high level of talent on display—this won’t be some beer league pick-up tournament. In addition to being successful entrepreneurs, Cavalier co-owners Dane Stevens and Keith Seabrook are both professional athletes. Bragging rights aside, the winning team will take home $5,000 in prizes, which is sure to make the tournament a highly spirited affair.
“Sports are a great way to bring the community together for an important cause. With my background in professional hockey and Dane’s in lacrosse, organizing this tournament made perfect sense as a way to help raise money for ALS BC,” says Keith Seabrook, a 2006 second round draft pick of the Washington Capitals.
Every day two to three Canadians die from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. This rapidly progressive neuromuscular disease can strike anyone at anytime, regardless of age, gender, or ethnic origin. The equipment costs for each patient average $137,000, while nursing and home care costs can be up to 10 times this amount.
The cause is one that is near and dear to Cavalier. Co-owner Dane Stevens took over his family’s gemstone wholesaling company in 2007 after his uncle passed away from ALS. Since then, raising awareness for ALS has been a driving force behind the business.
“When Cavalier opened its doors in the summer of 2013, Keith and I dedicated our business to supporting ALS BC,” says Dane Stevens. “ALS is a horrific disease that has made an impact on my life and countless others. I think this is a great opportunity to increase awareness and have a lot of fun at the same time.”
Come out on Saturday, August 16 to enjoy some sunshine, food, and hockey while supporting an important cause. Together we can improve the quality of life of people suffering from ALS and, one day, find a cure.
