Operation Red Nose officially launches its 2010 campaign Friday at CN Centre during the Prince George Cougars game.

RCMP Superintendent Brenda Butterworth-Carr, Operation Red Nose chair Kelly Zammit and Nechako Rotary Club president Bob Guy, will drop the puck at 7 p.m. when the Cougars host the Edmonton Oil Kings in WHL action.

"Operation Red Nose volunteers will also be on hand on the concourse during the game to spread the word to Cougars fans about the unique designated driving service," said Andrea Johnson, ORN spokesperson.

"Our goal is to give 1,000 rides over the holiday season. So far, we have about 100 volunteers who have stepped up to help us this year, but we need about 250 more to ensure everyone gets a safe ride home."

Criminal record check forms will also be available for people to fill out. The forms are a must for ORN volunteers who must be 19 years or older and have a valid driver's license. Read more in The Citizen.
