ANNUAL COLORING CONTEST CONCLUDES

Dec 14, 2019

The Utica Comets and Utica City FC 2019 Coloring Contest has officially wrapped up its fifth year. The annual contest for students in kindergarten through fifth grade saw participation from 36 schools all across the Mohawk Valley. Throughout four years, the goal has remained simple: for local youth to engage with the Comets and Utica City FC’s brands.

The 36 schools participated in the contest to showcase their students’ artistic abilities and to be able to color and modify a Utica Comets or Utica City FC picture in his or her own way. The winners were chosen by both the Utica Comets and Utica City FC players. Prizes included an iPad Mini for all the winners, a pizza party with Audie for second place winners, a Comets’ VIP experience for first place winners. For the grand prize winners, prizes included a shopping spree in the Team Store, an Xbox One and EA Sports NHL 19, a Comets premier VIP experience and an appearance at their school by either Utica Comets or Utica City FC players.

 “The Coloring Contest is a wonderful opportunity to involve the players in the community,” Colleen Cianfrocco, Save of the Day Foundation CEO. “It is also a great way to help the kids in our community feel a connection to the Comets and the UCFC players.”

The Save of the Day Foundation began with a focus on education and with the vision that nothing is more vital to a child’s success than the fundamentals learned in the classroom. Save of the Day supports organizations that focus on formal K-12 education programs that innovate and motivate children to stay in school, do well academically and encourage higher education. Understanding the importance of a safe learning environment, the Foundation supports a range of opportunities for youth to develop their own special talents.
