This year I am again playing in the 11 Day Powerplay Hockey Game to fight Cancer. Unforunately, Cancer has touched most, if not all, of us in our lives either directly or the ones we love. We lost my wife, Alison, to Cancer 10 years ago and it is in her memory and for others in my life who have battled that I participate in this Game. It is an awesome event but also also an overwhelming one when you see the number of hockey players participating who share similar stories to mine. This disease needs to be stopped. I ask you to please generously donate and if there is someone for whom you'd like me to play for, let me know. I'd be honored to skate in their name. Thank You
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.
