Bruce Power has donated $25,000 to the Canadian Cancer Society’s 20th annual Hockey Fights Cancer™ fund-raiser, held Saturday night, during the Owen Sound Attack game against the Kitchener Rangers, in Owen Sound.
Hockey Fights Cancer™ is a partnership that brings together the National Hockey League, National Hockey League Players Association, the Canadian Cancer Society, American Cancer Society and the V Foundation, raising 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 which 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, director of community and external affairs. “From our own medical isotope partnership with the Saugeen Ojibway Nation to standing 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 with the 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 is thrilled to partner with the Canadian Cancer Society and our title sponsor, Bruce Power, for this special 20th year of fund-raising,” said Evan Longland, community relations co-ordinator. “The fight to cure cancer is a battle that touches everyone, and together, through partnerships like these, we move the goal posts further along, developing cancer treatments and working toward a day where cancer is curable for everyone.”
On a local note, the choir from Huron Heights Public School in Kincardine, under the direction of Heather Weber, sang the national anthem at that game.
