2016 Heitz of Heaven Hockey Tournament & 5K Run/Walk

September 9-11, 2016

This was our fourth annual Heitz of Heaven event and it was a magical weekend!  The weekend started on Friday evening with the hockey tournament, which ran through the entire weekend.  On Sunday we all laced up for the 5K run/walk and Ryan was shining his bright light on us again!  Our family had a special surprise from Montour High School seniors, Ryan's graduating class, with balloons, shirts, and a very touching tribute to our angel.  

- 12 Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey Teams
- 340 Registered Runners & Walkers
- Many Corporate & Individual Sponsors and Donors
- Endless Volunteers

Thanks to all who made this fundraiser possible!

We had many volunteers for the hockey tournament and race.  Since we cannot list everybody’s name we want to say THANK YOU for making this possible and helping us do great things through the Foundation we created in memory of Ryan.
