Donations made to ice arena The Bridgerland Community Ice Arena (BCIA) received a donation of $30,000 from Gossner Foods, Inc. on Nov. 29. The donation, which will fund a unique program for Boy and Girl Scouts at the ice arena, came as a surprise to the arena administration. The donation will establish a permanent program at the ice arena called “The Edwin O. Gossner, Jr. Memorial Scouting Challenge.” The names for both Boy Scouts who complete the requirements for the Skating merit badge and Girl Scouts who complete the Ice Skating fun patch or the Winter Sports patch will be listed on a plaque commemorating Gossner. The contribution from Gossner’s will fund the cost of instruction, equipment rental and ice time for each Scout who wishes to complete the badge or patch requirements. Gossner Foods will also be recognized as the title sponsor for the BCIA Olympic Team Practice Sessions Jan. 5 through Feb. 17. As the title sponsor, the Gossner Foods logo and name will appear on the front cover of a souvenir program available during the Olympic teams practice sessions at the BCIA.
