BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Todd Pokrywa, the philanthropic president of The Viera Company in Brevard County on Florida’s Space Coast, is at it again, this time at the Celebrity Shinny Hockey Game in Toronto, Canada, that benefitted the Easter Seals.

“I was thrilled to have captained Team Celebrity Shinny at the Eric Lindros Celebrity Hockey Classic for Easter Seals Ontario recently at Scotiabank Pond in my hometown of Toronto,” said Pokrywa.

“I am proud that our team finished as the fifth-top fundraising team out of 14, raising nearly $35,000 toward more than $755,000 for Easter Seals.

“A huge thank you to my amazing teammates, including my friends and National Hockey League (NHL) Alumni Shayne Corson and 1995 Ontario Hockey League Champion Murray Sheehan, for making this experience competitive, fun, meaningful and unforgettable,” said Pokrywa.

“It was also a phenomenal opportunity to face teams with legendary NHL Alumni Mike Krushelnyski, Kris Versteeg, and Eric Lindros. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed. This event brought together a community to support a cause that helps kids with disabilities realize their full potential—a wonderful organization and an unforgettable day both on and off the ice.”
