Grande Prairie Storm fans are encouraged to wear pink to support Breast Cancer awareness during their game against the Olds Grizzlys.
Storm Executive Director Nicole Menzies says the Pink in the Rink Game on Saturday, October 21st, is in partnership with Peace Diagnostic Imaging. The evening will include the Grande Prairie team wearing specialty-designed jerseys, which will be up for auction after the game, with all proceeds going to Breast Cancer support in Grande Prairie.
“It is an important [cause] for us, as everyone unfortunately has one way or another been touched by cancer,” Menzies says. “We are excited to partner with Peace Diagnostic Imaging, as they do a ton for women’s health; they have a whole women’s imaging department.”
Along with raising funds, Menzies says the goal is to raise awareness and support for the community throughout the night. On the 21st, Peace Diagnostic Imaging will be at the Bonnetts Energy Centre Arena with information about screening, research, and supports and services in the city and throughout the province.
“We will also be having a frisbee toss during the second intermission, with all the proceeds going to support Breast Cancer research and programs in the community.”
The Storm will also hand out pom poms to the first 150 fans through the door on Saturday.
