Garrett Snider hosts the Snider Hockey Foundation Holiday Shopping Night at Saks 5th Avenue

Garrett Getlin Snider & Saks Fifth Avenue Philadelphia hosted an evening to support the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation. Guests enjoyed holiday shopping, cocktails and hors d’ouerves while in the company of guests such as Lauren Hart, Ed Snider, Bernie Parent, Bob Kelly, Serena Snider, Erin Elmore and Flyers coach Peter Laviolette.

A proud Ed Snider shares a laugh with his grandson Garrett Snider. Snider Hockey Foundation is a cutting edge program that uses the sport of hockey coupled with a rigorous off-ice life skills curriculum and supplemental educational services to build character and academic skills for high-risk inner-city boys and girls from Philadelphia and Camden, NJ.

The foundation provides full equipment, ice time and experienced coaching to more than 3,000 children, at no charge to them or their families.
