STICK IT TO CANCER FUNDRAISER
The Bethpage Hich School Hockey team is holding a benefit hockey game against Oceanside High School in honor of their teammate who is battling brain cancer. The team is selling STICK IT TO CANCER t-shirts to raise money to support cancer research at Cohen’s Children’s Hospital. To date, in one short week, the team has sold over $16,000 worth of shirts.
Many local teams and organizations have come forward to support the effort by buying shirts and donating raffles prizes for this special evening. Some of the raffles include an iwatch, signed NHL jerseys, tickets to Islander and Ranger games, and a variety of other baskets. Supporters will wear their shirts to school and the game on STICK IT TO CANCER DAY, Wednesday 12/19. The game will be played that evening at the Town of Oyster Bay Rink in Bethpage at 7:30 pm. Please come down to support the cause and our teammate.
The overwhelming response has been a team effort. Players promoted the shirts and event on social media, handed out flyers, manned tables at lunch and after school to collect orders. We are expecting a packed house at this very special community event. Hockey families really do STICK together!
