Last year I had the opportunity to skate with a great group of dedicated players to raise money for a tremendous cause: Roswell Park Cancer Institute. SInce last year some of us have lost friends and family to cancer. Others have been diagnosed, treated and hopefully are on the way to recovery and become survivors. I am asking that you make a small contribution to help me achieve my goal. Playing hockey for three hours is an easy task compared to dealing with the uncertainty, fears, and consequences of a cancer diagnosis. Last year I wasn't even sure I was capable of completing the mission. This year I am confident and motivated to do my part. I hope you will help me. I went down the cancer road. I even felt like I cheated against the disease because I, in no way, experienced the difficulties I have witnessed in others, friends and family included. I am still here and I can make this small sacrifice to hopefully make a difference with your help!
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.
