These donations are above and beyond any money raised directly through the charitable events which can reach as high as $100,000 plus in any given year.All of these player contributions are put into perspective by the fact that they did not earn millions of dollars during their playing career. In fact, several new, as well as old, alumni groups have modeled their organizations after the Red Wings Alumni Association. Therefore, we saw each other quite often.
