Hey everyone, I am excited to once again be taking part in the 11 Day Power Play. After going through the process last year, seeing all the hard work that went into the event and the impact it had on people's lives I knew I had to do it again.
Being a part of the Ingram Micro team last year we raised just under $25,000 and this year our goal is to pass it. Thank you again to everyone who donated last year and I am hopeful you can help again this year.
Because cancer affects so many, whether it is you or someone you know, please let me know if there is someone you specifically want to be remembered during the event. I will make sure to add their name to my page for everyone to see as well as do something for them at the game. Even if you cannot donate it would be great to see you at the game. We will be playing July 8th from 6pm - 9pm at Harborcenter.
Thanks, Derek
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.
