I am elated to be participating in this event again this year. Last year was such a special time; the cause, the camaraderie, the sportsmanship were all second to none. While my mother is still my number one survivor and has all of my love and support....I am dedicating this years shift to my late grandmother, Marie Seel. Grandma Seel was a special person, with a heart of gold and lived by standards that you just do not find today. As a surviovor of three cancers; breast, stomach and eye, she never gave up or complained about her struggles. She loved her children and granchildren deeply and worked very hard to treat each of us with genuine fairness. I think about her daily and do my best to carry forward the lessons she bestowed upon our family with my childrern and beyond! I love you miss you grandma!
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.
