Pink Power Play Night for Breast Cancer
The Kelowna Rockets will add some pink to their lines tonight in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure.
The Rockets will sport pink jerseys, pink skate laces and pink hockey tape as they take on the Tri-City Americans for their first ever Pink Power Play night. The Rockets are inviting their fans to wear pink in support of breast cancer and also take part in an auction. The pink jerseys and hockey sticks will be auctioned off after the game, with proceeds going toward the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
The Kelowna Run Committee hopes that pink skate laces and stick tape on Kelowna’s hockey heroes will help raise awareness and run registrations for the October 3, 2010 fundraising event.
“It’s exciting to have the Rockets on board in support of the breast cancer cause,” says Barb Hoy, Volunteer Co-Run Director for Kelowna’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. “They all have mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends, and that means breast cancer can have an impact on their lives. They’re wearing a bit of pink tonight to show Kelowna hockey fans that they’re committed to a future without breast cancer.”
Across British Columbia, nine communities will be lacing up for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 3, 2010:
