The Owen Sound Attack have a special game coming up this weekend.
The Hockey Fights Cancer game is Saturday, November 8th, in Owen Sound against the London Knights.
The event supports the local Canadian Cancer Society chapter’s Wheels of Hope program that provides rides from the area down to major centres for people receiving cancer treatment away from home.
Allison Taylor-Misener Events Specialist from the Canadian Cancer Society local Bluewater Office says it costs about $300,000 to run that program annually. “We had 24 drivers in our area and they served 122 clients just in our very, very local area,” says Taylor-Misener.
Saturday’s game includes a number of fundraising activities including the bucket pass, where you can donate your change as a bucket gets passed around the stands, the chuck a puck challenge which has a prize this year of Toronto Maple Leafs tickets, a ride to and from Toronto provided by Driver’s Seat and $500 spending money.
There is a silent auction with prizes that include West Jet tickets to anywhere in Canada, a Storybook Park prize, a kids kayak, gift baskets and lots of other items to bid on.
There is a new, dark Attack Hockey Fights Cancer game jersey and also a new hat design this year. You can also donate for an ‘I fight for’ sign to support the fundraising event.
Boston Pizza is also donating $1 from its Triple Play appetizer to Hockey Fights Cancer until November 8th.
