CWHL& Breast Ride Ever Get Ready To Stick It To Cancer!
The Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL) and Breast Ride Ever (www.thebreastrideever.com) are teaming up in November for a huge fundraiser in the Windsor area called “Stick It To Cancer.”
When the Montreal Stars play a two-game series against the Toronto Furies in a rematch of the Clarkson Cup Final at the Windsor Arena (572 McDougall St. Windsor) on November 26 (6 p.m.) and November 27 (12:30 p.m.) hockey fans have a chance to not only see some of the top female players in the world compete, but meet and skate with them on the ice!
After the Sunday game fans who bring their helmet and skates will be invited on ice to skate with the players. Fans will also have an opportunity to get autographs.
Windsor’s own Meghan Agosta will be playing one of her first games with the Stars.
“ Agosta has an enormous amount of offensive talent – and she’ll surely make her mark in these games, and all season long for us,” Stars Captain Lisa-Marie Breton-Lebreux says. “We are very excited to play in this important fundraiser event!”
Individual game tickets for adults (18 and older) are $15; seniors (65 and older) and children are $10. Children three and under get in free. Tickets for both games are available in a package – adults for $25 and $15 for seniors and children.
Tickets are general admission and available online at www.ticketweb.ca and at Dr. Disc, 471 Ouellette Avenue; Jam Space, 2680 Ouellette Avenue across from Tepperman’s); Healthy Creations Bakery, 333 Dougall Square and at the Windsor and Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation, 2220 Kildare Road.
The proceeds from “Stick It To Cancer” will benefit the Windsor & Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation (the fundraising arm of the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre) for the purchase of a Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) for Cancer diagnostics and for their Seeds4Hope Cancer Research Program), and The Hospice of Windsor and Essex County for community-based services.
To help raise additional funds, an after party event has been organized for after the game on November 26 at The Capitol Theatre, downtown Windsor. Tickets are $22 if purchased in advance and $25 the day of the show for fans over 18. People will get to hang out with all the players and see a great line-up of local bands.
“Local talents include Georgia Rose (sister of Jeff Burrows) Glen MacNeil and Friends, Jackie Robitaille, Pat Robitaille, Sarah Smith (The Joys) and featuring the all-Canadian band THE TREWS!” The Breast Ride Ever Co-Founder Nikki Krieger-Campeau says.
Biz X and In Play magazines will be there and we hope you are too!
