This July, a number of friends and I will be participating in the Community Shift of the 11-Day Power Play. In just a two years, this event has raised over $2.5 Million in support of cancer causes here in WNY. These fantastic organizations include Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-a-Wish!
Cancer is a disease that has impacted the lives of so many people, including mine. According to to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 1,735,350 new cases of cancer had been diagnosed and 609,640 deaths due to cancer occurred in the United States in 2018. These numbers are staggering!
As my teammates and I prepare to lace up our skates in July, I ask for any support you're willing and able to contribute. Any donation truly helps this great cause. Hopefully a cure for all forms of cancer is found someday so that no one has to endure the hardships and struggles of what this disease brings.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your consideration!
Thanks!
-Mike
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.
