Yes, that is right. I will be playing hockey for a three-hour shift as part of one continuous hockey game called the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift. The game, which will last for 11 straight days at Harborcenter in Buffalo, New York from July 5 -15, 2019, will be played by more than 2,500 hockey players to raise critically-needed funds for important cancer causes.
For this years 11 Day PowerPlay my team lost our Captain on March 7th. Andy Bouquard was passionate about hockey, but even more passionate about the work he has been doing at Roswell Park. I have set a personal goal of $500 in honor of Andy and will being playing for him and others to continue the work he has been doing for so many years. Together, we can continue to make an impact in the search for a cure, and better the lives of those living with cancer. Thank you for supporting me!
Sincerely,
Matthew Krug
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.
