This year I lost my beautiful wife Jeanette to cancer. Jeanette was a strong, faithful, Christian woman who was taken quickly by this disease. Through God's promise to never leave us, we as a family have become stronger as a result of this circumstance. What I've learned is that God uses His people to help His people. The love and support shown to me and my family has been utterly amazing.
Through this tragic event in my life, I have seen the beauty in God's plan, and the beauty of what humanity and compassion can look like. It is truly amazing!!
Please help me fight cancer through the game of hockey!
Yes, that is right. I will be playing hockey for a three-hour shift as part of one continuous hockey gam, called the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift.
I have set a personal goal of [$1100], and I am intent on exceeding it! Please consider making a donation today. No donation is too small, and every dollar adds up to something greater than any one of us could accomplish alone. To donate, visit my fundraising page at Donate to Ken's Cause, or send a check made out to The 11 Day Power Play to PO Box 4, Buffalo, NY 14223. Include a note directing your 100% tax deductible donation towards my goal.
Together, we can continue to make an impact in the search for a cure, and better the lives of those living with cancer. Thank you for supporting me!
Sincerely,
Kenneth Giangreco

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.
