The Anaheim Ducks National Hockey League franchise has partnered with Smart and Final ahead of Thanksgiving Day.

The Ducks will give two free tickets to every fan participating in Smart and Final's drive for the We Give Thanks Foundation, in a campaign expected to be worth some US$50,000.

"We are honoured to support We Give Thanks and partner with Smart & Final to help further assist in the success of the event," said Ducks senior vice president Bob Wagner. "With 20,000 people expected to be fed this Thanksgiving, it takes a tremendous group effort from all parties to make this very special event for Orange County happen."

Randall Oliver, director of corporate communications for Smart and Final, added: "As a company committed to helping eliminate hunger in our communities, Smart & Final is grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Anaheim Ducks in support of the annual We Give Thanks Thanksgiving Day dinner."
