Cheer on the Johnstown Tomahawks and give to a great cause! The Community Foundation for the Alleghenies is teaming up with the Tomahawks for a hockey game fundraiser. 80% of your December 4th ticket price will go to a Community Foundation for the Alleghenies fund of your choosing.

Show your Hockeyville USA spirit, rooting for the Tomahawks as they take on the Northeast Generals. It’s a great reason to take the whole family out for an afternoon of hockey, food, and fun at the Cambria County War Memorial.
