The Black Swamp Ice Frogs will be hosting a fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 17, in downtown Bowling Green. Join us to explore downtown Bowling Green in this two-part event. The BSIF goal is to raise $7,000 for team expenses.
The first part is the Family Friendly Swamp Hop, which starts at the downtown Bowling Green Huntington Bank parking lot from 3-6 p.m. Participants purchase a passport book for a $5 donation to Black Swamp Ice Frogs and visit each of the stops between 3-6 p.m. to get the passbook stamped. Special offers may be available at each passport location also.
Once you have completed your stops, return to the Huntington Bank Courtyard, and turn in your passport for a chance to win $100 cash. There will also be gift baskets valued at $100 or more being raffled off at the event. Winners must be present to win.

The Black Swamp Ice Frogs (BSIF) is a special needs co-ed no contact Association of Special Needs Hockey program for ages 5 and up. BSIF provides individuals with physical and/or developmental disabilities the opportunity to learn to skate and participate in the sport of ice hockey.
The program develops dependability, self-reliance, focus and personal accountability. The mission is larger than hockey, players are encouraged to embrace success on and off the ice.
Fees for the program include participants’ practice ice time, skates, equipment, instruction and coaching. The BSIF is open to anyone with any level of skating ability – from the non-skater to the experienced. Join the team to learn to skate, sportsmanship, social interaction, skill developments, weekly exercise and more.
The season will kick off on Sunday, Sept. 25, with a “Get to Know Us Skate” at the Slater Family Ice Arena at Bowling Green State University, with check in at 4:30 p.m. and skate with the team and coaches from 5 – 6 p.m. This is open to anyone who would like to give the Black Swamp Ice Frogs a try. Join us for one-on-one instruction – with everything included you will need.
