I am honored to participate again in the 11 Day Power Play to help support three very worthy causes: Roswell Park Cancer Center, Camp Good Days, and Make a Wish.  The hockey community is strong and I have faith that with your help, we can make this year’s event just as successful as last years.

It’s unfortunate that cancer has affected so many people we know. Frankly, it sucks. By participating in the 11 Day Power Play again this summer, my teammates and I are trying to raise another $1 Million to help fight this terrible disease, but also help improve the quality of life for children, adults and families whose lives have been affected by cancer.

This is just a small way that we can help these great causes by playing the game we love.

Please help out by donating whatever you can. Thank you.

See you on the ice.

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.
