Hi Everyone,

I am excited to be taking part in the 2019 11 Day Power Play Community Shift, alongside a great group of colleagues from Ingram Micro again. I would like to say thank you in advance to all of you who donate to this great cause, and to helping me reach my goal this year.

Cancer has affected all of us in some way, and that is why I will take part in this year’s game. This event is not just for those who have personally battled cancer, but also for the family and friends who have been right by the side of those loved ones as they fought the disease.

This year I am playing for all of my family, friends and loved ones that have directly or indirectly battled, won or lost against this disease. So, with this event making strides to create a lasting impact for cancer research, hopefully one day we will see that this was all for the better.

Again, thank you for donating towards my personal goal and the community’s overall goal! No donation is too small, and every dollar is greatly appreciated!

Also, the support can extend beyond the dollars that are raised. Everyone taking part in this event would love for you to stop down at Harbor Center to check out the event. My team will be playing on Monday July 8th from 6-9pm, so please come out and support the cause while enjoying a fun event!

-Brian

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.
