This is a plea to all of my friends and associates to consider a donation towards the fight against cancer. The “11Day Power Play” is a hockey fundraiser where in marathon games are played, 24 hours straight for 11 days in a row. The ultimate goal is to raise as much money as possible and support the fight against this dreadful disease. Millions have been raised in the past two years through this rigorous, grueling yet rewarding event. I am just hoping that you might help me surpass my personal goal.

 Thank you,

Tony

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.
