I am very pleased to be participating for a second year in the 11 Day Power Play.  Amy and Mike Lesakowski, as well as the original 11 Day players, found an incredible way to galvinize the Buffalo community to fight cancer and improve lives.  I will be playing with the Benchmark/Turnkey team this year.  I am playing in support of my Mother who has dealt with cancer, and in memory of my Aunt Marie and Aunt Nancy who we lost to the disease, along with my hunting buddy Jerry.

After attending last year's banquet and hearing from representative of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish Western New York about the projects funded by 11 Day Power Play donations, I look forward to participating again this year with the goal of beating cancer.   I sincerely appreciate your support and contributions.  

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.
