Railers mascot TRAX, Mike Myers, and Railers community development coordinator Jillian Witkowski will hand deliver the donations on Thursday to spread the holiday cheer.
“The Railers Foundation will have a strong presence in our community as we get set to hit the ice in October, 2017,” said Myers. “We pinpointed five terrific organizations that we felt that could use a little boost during the holidays.
