The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will be holding our annual night to raise awareness of and funds for the fight against cancer this Saturday night when we take on the Bridgeport Islanders at 6:05pm.
Cross-Check Cancer, presented by Geisinger, will feature numerous activities geared toward helping to end cancers of all kinds.
What Cancer Night Entails
Some of the night’s events include:
Pink Thundersticks: Presented by Geisinger – these will be given out for free while supplies last
Hair Coloring: Fans will be able to show their support by coloring their hair with temporary dye on the concourse. A $5 donation, which will benefit local organizations, is required.
Lavender Hats: The Penguins GOALS Foundation will be selling lavender hats for $20. There are only a hundred available, and a portion of the sales will be donated to local organizations leading the fight against cancer.
Postgame Ice Painting: This special event benefits PA Prostate Cancer Coalition. For a $15 donation fans will be able to access the ice after the game where they can paint messages of support or remembrance for those affected by cancer.
We encourage fans to wear pink or lavender to show support in the fight against cancer.
