Ahead of last week’s Hockey Fights Cancer Fundraiser, Bruce Power donated $25,000 to the cause.
The energy producer was the title sponsor for the event, which was held on Saturday, November 7th between the Owen Sound Attack and the Kitchener Rangers.
Hockey Fights Cancer (HFC) is a partnership that brings together organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society, the National Hockey League, the NHL Players Association, and the American Cancer Foundation, with the goal of raising money to support those who are living with, going through, or moving past cancer.
In a media release, Canadian Cancer Society Signature Events Specialist Allison Taylor-Misener said, “For 20 years, the Owen Sound Attack has generously dedicated one game each season to supporting the Canadian Cancer Society through Hockey Fights Cancer
.”
She added that the long-standing partnership had become a meaningful tradition within the community.
“We are grateful to the Owen Sound Attack and the generosity of our repeat Title Sponsor Bruce Power, for allowing us to continue with this tradition. Through their combined commitment, we bring together players, fans, volunteers, survivors, caregivers, and local businesses to make a difference in the lives of people affected by cancer,” Taylor-Misener added.
