Hi! I'm Justen and thanks for visiting my team's fundraising page!! I participated in the 11 Day Power Play last year and I couldn't be more proud of what my 39 brothers and myself accomplished last June! The 11 Day Power Play is back bigger than ever!! I've gathered a small group of some of my favorite people to play hockey with. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH TO EVERYBODY THAT DONATED LAST YEAR!!!! You helped me reach my goal of 10,000 dollars and together we raised a little under 11k toward the $1.2 MILLION raised for INCREDIBLE cancer research. 

As most of you know, my mom passed this past December. So naturally I'm back in the saddle with a vengeance. Let's come together again and show the country how #OneBuffalo can be an agent of change. With your donation, you're not just donating to another run of the mill charity. You're touching the lives of people in your own backyard. You're helping raise funds that could give a family extra months, extra years, with a parent, with a friend, with a child, with an Aunt or an Uncle. I love you all! I can't wait to help tens of thousands of people with all of you this year!

This summer, more than 1,700 pairs of skates will hit the ice to play in the 2018 11 Day Power Play Community Shift to help in the fight against cancer! The 11-day game will be played in continuous, four-hour shifts at HarborCenter in Buffalo, New York. Each shift will feature two new teams. The purpose of this important event is to raise critically-needed funds for important local cancer causes, including: cutting-edge cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center; supporting programs that improve quality of life for children, adults and families affected by cancer through Camp Good Days; and, granting wishes and amazing experiences to kids with life-threatening illnesses, including cancer, by Make-A-Wish Western New York. Although it may be physically challenging for our players to play four continuous hours of hockey, it will be a walk in the park compared to what some people have to endure in their battle against cancer. Cancer is a disease that touches everyone, and The 11 Day Power Play wants to make a difference, a big difference. You can help make a big difference by supporting our players' efforts in The 11 Day Power Play Community Shift.

As part of our fundraising efforts, we also offer various corporate sponsorships, providing value greatly in excess of the financial contribution. Please contact Sara Schumacher at sara@11daypowerplay.com or 716-830-3805 for more information. Team sponsorships start at $1,100 and are first come, first serve. 

Proceeds of the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift will benefit our local families while supporting cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Make-A-Wish WNY and Camp Good Days.

Donations are graciously accepted either online or by check. Please write checks out to 'The 11 Day Power Play' and send to PO Box 4 Buffalo NY 14223.
