Bruce Power donated $25,000 to the Canadian Cancer Society’s 20th annual Hockey Fights Cancer™ fundraiser, held November 7th during the Owen Sound Attack game against the Kitchener Rangers.
Hockey Fights Cancer™ is a partnership that brings together the National Hockey League, National Hockey League Players Association, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), American Cancer Society and the V Foundation to raise funds to support those living with, going through, or moving past cancer.
Bruce Power returned as the title sponsor for the 20th Hockey Fights Cancer™ game. The milestone game proved to be a huge success with teams, individuals and fans raising $41,000 for critical cancer care programs.
“Bruce Power believes in the power and strength of teamwork,” said Maggie Tieman, Bruce Power’s Director of Community and External Affairs. “From our own medical isotope partnership with the Saugeen Ojibway Nation to standing proudly alongside the Canadian Cancer Society, Bruce Power is proud to support people and families who are fighting cancer.”
“For 20 years, the Owen Sound Attack has generously dedicated one game each season to supporting the Canadian Cancer Society through Hockey Fights Cancer™,” said Allison Taylor-Misener, Signature Events Specialist, Canadian Cancer Society. “This long-standing partnership has 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.”
“The Owen Sound Attack are thrilled to partner with the Canadian Cancer Society and our Title Sponsor Bruce Power for this special 20th year of fundraising,” said Evan Longland, Community Relations Co-ordinator, Owen Sound Attack. “The fight to cure cancer is a battle that touches everyone, and together, through partnerships like these, we move the goalposts further along, developing cancer treatments and working towards a day where cancer is curable for everyone.”
