Toronto Rock event to benefit our new breast cancer site
In efforts to "black out" breast cancer, the Toronto Rock is donating a portion of ticket sales to help fund Sunnybrook's new breast cancer centre. The "black out" theme is a league-wide initiative, with each of the eleven teams hosting a special charity night. For their Black Out Breast Cancer charity game on Friday, March 4th, the Rock will host the Philadelphia Wings at the Air Canada Centre.
The Rock has set a fundraising goal of $50,000 to fund an exam room at the new Sunnybrook breast cancer centre. To help achieve this goal, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment will contribute $1 for each ticket sold for the March 4th game towards the Toronto Rock's overall donation to our Foundation.
"Cancer is a disease that has touched so many lives. The Toronto Rock is happy to join forces with Sunnybrook in hopes to eliminate breast cancer," said Jamie Dawick, Toronto Rock's president and owner.
"Holding a charity game is an interactive and fun way to give fans the opportunity to donate to a serious cause that affects so many," he adds.
