On Wednesday, July 10th, I will be participating once more in the 11 Day Power Play to raise money for cancer research. I will be playing again in honor of my Nana, Mary Inao, who lost her battle with lung cancer 5 years ago. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not talking to someone who is either fighting this disease themselves, or who is watching someone they love fight. Please help me reach my goal and donate through my page if you're able. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. 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.
