Thank you for visiting my page! This is my first year participating in this fundraising event and I am super excited to be a part of it. I love to play hockey and hang out with my teammates so to be able to do those things while raising money for cancer research is pretty cool! My grandfather died from esophageal and brain cancer two years before I was born and my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor so it is amazing to be able to support others that are affected by cancer as well. I’ve been playing for the 14u Cazenovia Lafy Chiefs for the past three seasons and have made life long friends during my time. To be able to play a sport I love while supporting such an important cause makes me even more happy than before. 

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.
