Dear Friends ,

Yes, that is right. I will be playing hockey for a three-hour shift as part of one continuous hockey game called the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift. The game, which will last for 11 straight days at Harborcenter in Buffalo, New York from July 5 -15, 2019, will be played by more than 2,500 hockey players to raise critically-needed funds for important cancer causes.

Donations raised will benefit The 11 Day Power Play, and cutting-edge cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish Western New York. In the past two years, The 11 Day Power Play has raised nearly $2.5 million for cancer causes in our community.

This year I will be playing in honor of my mother ,Maureen Pronobis. My mother is battling cancer and kicking ass! In addition to my mom, I have family and friends who have lost their fight and some who continue to fight this horrible disease. I am honored to be able to play to raise awareness and find a cure . Please help us with the fight !! Thank you . 

I have set a personal goal of [$1500], 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 When you donate please leave me a comment it could be who your donating in honor of, or just encouragement. Thanks., 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,

Mark Pronobis

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.
