Last year we submitted an application to start a team to play 4 hours of hockey in July 2018.  Our family has unfortunately been impacted by cancer more than just a few times and this was the least we could do.  Little did we know what this event would do for us.  We played in support of those who survived, still fighting and in honor of those who lost the battle.  While doing so, we learned that what we were doing could make a difference.  With each family, friend and acquaintance who supported our father and son duo, as well as our team, we realized that we could play a little part in helping find a cure.  The support we received was humbling.  We thank you for your support and hope you will consider supporting this amazing cause in 2019!

Come cheer us on July 14, 2019 from 3-5:50!

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.
