For the 2nd year I am participating in the 11-day Power Play to raise funds for Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish WNY.  As with every family, my family has been impacted by cancer.  This year I am not only playing in honor of my mother who continues to live with breast cancer, but also in memory of my uncle who just recently passed away from stomach cancer and in honor of a good friend who was diaganosed with colon cancer.  Please help me in my efforts to raise money to help find a cure for cancer and to benefit the two other well know and worthwhile organizations.

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.
