Dear friends, supporters, and members of our community…
After much thought and heartfelt discussion, we have made the difficult decision that the Swider’s Christmas Classic will no longer be hosted moving forward after 11 incredible years.
This event has been more than just a hockey tournament — it’s been a celebration of community, generosity, and the spirit of giving. Together, we’ve raised funds, created memories, and made a meaningful difference for so many people & organizations.
This decision was not made lightly. As our organization continues to evolve, we recognized that it’s time to close this chapter and focus our efforts on new ways to serve our mission and community.
We are extremely grateful to every participant, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who helped make the Classic so special. Your dedication, enthusiasm, and kindness have been the heart of this event from the very beginning.
While the Swider’s Christmas Classic is coming to an end, our commitment to support local charities remains as strong as ever. We look forward to sharing new opportunities to get involved and continue making a difference together.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being part of this incredible journey.
With gratitude,
Kevin Swider & the Christmas Classic Family!!!
