February 25, 2017

Mike Eisenhour, executive director of Delaware Shore Field Hockey Inc., recently presented a check to Laura McKeown, administrative coordinator for Easter Seals Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The annual Hockey for Haxton event raised $1,300 for Easter Seals to help provide therapy services for people with disabilities in Sussex County.

Hockey for Haxton is an annual indoor tournament in memory of Amanda Haxton, a member of the Delaware Shore Field Hockey community and a former athlete at Cape Henlopen High School and East Stroudsburg University. As a result of an accident, Amanda received services at Easter Seals in Georgetown. Donations from the event benefit Easter Seals and the Hockey for Haxton Scholarship Fund for outstanding hockey players. For more information, visit: www.delawareshorefh.org.
