Friends in Oil Country:
Like so many across Oil Country we are deeply saddened by the devastation of the wildfires in Fort McMurray and across the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB). Those affected are our friends, family, colleagues, Oilers fans and our hearts go out to them in their time of need.
The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF), on behalf of the Oilers Entertainment Group, is making an immediate donation of $100,000 to the Red Cross to support relief efforts. We are also encouraging our fans and partners to contribute to the relief efforts any way they can, in particular through donations to the Red Cross.
