I'm playing for the people fighting for their lives and I'm playing so we can live in a world of survivors.

A cancer diagnosis is something none of us want to hear but 1 out of 3 people will develop this disease.

Please help our community by donating to The 11 Day Power Play. What you would spend on a drink, or a quick bite or your morning coffee and bagel could make a huge difference. At the end of 11 days of hockey, with your support, we are handing over HUGE checks to Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish WNYto provide resources to the study of, treatment for and the recovery of folks fighting this disease. 

I hit my goal evenly last year, I'm aiming to do better this time around. 

Thank you so much!

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.
