I'm thrilled to be back again in 2019 for another 11 Day Power Play Community Shift with the Honey Badgers Hockey Club. There aren't words to describe how honored I was to take to the ice in support of this last July. I had a great time but the more important thing for me was the event itself and the cause it represents.   I don't think there is a family anywhere that hasn't been touched by cancer.  My family and friends certainly have felt its pain, and hopefully with your help we'll be able to help others that have or will also.

This is a great event to raise money for some very worthwhile charities.  Last year I set a personal goal of raising $1000 and managed to beat that.  This year I've raised the bar and I'm hoping you will help me break past $1250 in support of Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish.

I can't thank you enough for the support you give!

This summer, more than 2,500 pairs of skates will hit the ice to play in the 2019 11 Day Power Play Community Shift to help in the fight against cancer! The 11-day game will be played in continuous shifts at Harborcenter in Buffalo, NY. This important event supports The 11 Day Power Play, raising critically-needed funds for cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish WNY. While it is physically challenging to play in a marathon hockey game, it's a walk in the park compared to what most endure in their battle against cancer. Cancer is a disease that touches everyone, and The 11 Day Power Play wants to make an impact in our community. In the past two years, The 11 Day Power Play has raised nearly $2.5 million supporting cancer causes in Western New York.

Donations are graciously accepted online or by check. Please write checks out to 'The 11 Day Power Play' and send to PO Box 4, Buffalo, NY 14223. If you are interested in a sponsorship, contact Sara Schumacher today.
