Most everyone in the Western New York community has heard about the 11 Day Power Play.  It's had a profund impact on our region, the fight against cancer and the people its lived have touched.  This year I'm fortunate enough to be participating and would love your support.

As with past years, any donation to the 11 Day Power Play will support Roswell Park and their efforts to find a cure.  Additionally, your donation will support two additional causes, the Make-A-Wish foundation and Camp Good Days.  All three organizations are worthy recipients of your donation.  Roswell Park is an industry leading cancer research center with a focus on compassionate care.  Make-A-Wish is committed to empowering the lives of children battling critical illness.  Camp Good Days provides a recreational outlet for children suffering from cancer and children whose lives have been touched by the disease as well.

Thank you for considering donating to these great organizations!

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.
