The Shuley Cup Charitable Hockey Tournament, founded in 2010 by Shuley Nakamura to help support various charitable organizations, took place Sunday, Nov. 8 at Cambridge’s Simoni Rink.
The tournament is led by Nakamura and Chris Peterson through the Shuley Nakamura Charitable Foundation. The Shuley Cup has raised more than $400,000 throughout its history.
This year’s tourney has so far raised more than $40,000 for the designated recipient, Doc Wayne, a nonprofit mental health organization that uses sport and physical activity as a medium for youth care.
“We are deeply grateful to Shuley, Chris and every player, donor and volunteer who makes this community so special,” said Rebekah Roulier, Doc Wayne’s executive director. “Belonging is central to mental health. Shuley Cup shows what can happen when friends come together to help young people experience that same connection and support.”
Roulier said sport and play can help engage young people in therapy, reduce stigma and help them build skills to manage emotions, navigate conflict and make friends.
The Shuley Cup’s goal is to raise more than the $45,000 it raised last year, so it will keep its campaign active through the end of the year.
