TJ Oshie, John Carlson team up to raise money towards the Alzheimer’s Association



One of the most touching moments following the Washington Capitals’ first ever Stanley Cup title came during TJ Oshie’s post-game interviews where he discussed how much the victory meant to him and his family, especially his father, Tim, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.



Later this week the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place in more than 600 communities nationwide and the Oshie’s have teamed up with John Carlson and his family to help raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association. As a way to help raise as much money as possible, Oshie and Carlson are offering Captials fans something a little extra if they get on board with the cause.



Anyone who donates a minimum of $20 towards the Oshie family’s team page under the Monumental Sports team, will be entered in a draw to win one of five different Capitals themed prizes including two glass seats to a Caps game plus a meet and greet with TJ Oshie and John Carlson, two lower bowl tickets to a Caps game plus the meet and greets, two signed Oshie jerseys, two Caps tickets plus dinner for two at one of the Circa Bistro locations in the D.C. area.

TJ’s wife, Lauren, will announce the winners during an Instagram live video the evening of this year’s event on October 13.
