The fourth annual Shoot for the Cure fundraiser will take place on Saturday, December 12, as the Storm host the Calgary Canucks at the Canada Games Arena.
Grande Prairie will once again wear pink jerseys for the event, which were designed by Nine10 and unveiled earlier today. A silent auction will take place during the game, with the winning bidders receiving their jersey off the player’s backs.
There will also be a Frisbee toss held during the second intermission. Up for grabs is a trip for two to anywhere WestJet flies. Proceeds from both the jersey auction and Frisbee toss will go directly to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Shoot for the Cure raised $12,000 last year. Over the past three years, the event has brought nearly $30,000 to the Cancer Society.
“The Grande Prairie Storm organization is pleased to be able to contribute to such a valuable initiative,” said Storm Vice-President, Darrell Radbourne.
“Shoot for the Cure has become such a wonderful community event and we look forward to a continued partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society in the future."
Discounted tickets for Saturday’s game are available through the Canadian Cancer Society. The cost is $10, with half of all proceeds benefiting the charity.
As an added bonus, anyone who purchases their ticket through the society will have their name entered in a draw for an autographed Storm hockey stick.
“The Canadian Cancer Society is very proud to partner with Brekkaas Tank & Vacuum Ltd. and the Grande Prairie Storm, for the past four years with Shoot for the Cure," said Lisa Heck, Revenue Development Coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society. "This event is a very fun event that not only raises funds for Breast Cancer, but also raises awareness.”
Game time Saturday is 7:30 pm. Tickets are available through the Cancer Society, by phoning 780-538-8205.
You can also purchase tickets through the Crystal Centre Box Office, at 780-538-0387.
