NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The annual Berkshire Charity Draft Tournament is set to take place Sept. 13 and 14 at the Peter W. Foote Vietnam Veterans Memorial Rink.
 
The event will bring together hockey enthusiasts and local community members to raise funds for the Berkshire Humane Society, a local animal shelter dedicated to rescuing and caring for animals in need.
 
The tournament will showcase the talent and sportsmanship of participating teams. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a weekend of action-packed hockey while supporting a worthy cause.
 
During the tournament organizers will be collecting food and supplies for Berkshire Humane Society at the rink. Donations of pet food, blankets, toys, and other essential items are greatly appreciated and will directly benefit the shelter's residents.
