This year I will be participating in the 11 day PowerPlay to raise money for some great organizations, including Roswell Park and the Make A Wish foundation. Unfortunately, cancer is something that affects a majority of families out there, and I personally have close family and friends that are battling or have battled with the disease. I truly hope that someday we can find a cure and see the end to all forms of cancer, and because of this, I would love to be able to contribute financially for the necessary research. If you're able to spare even a dollar towards my campaign, in the voices of the Toy Story aliens, I'd be 'eternally grateful.'
Thank you for your consideration. <3
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.
