The Penguins are hosting a ‘Hockey Fights Cancer’ night tomorrow night for the team’s upcoming game against the Minnesota Wild.
The event is part of a bigger, NHL-wide initiative to help raise awareness
and support for anyone impacted by cancer.
The first 7,500 fans in attendance at tomorrow night’s game will receive a Hockey Fights Cancer knit beanie and a number of other items will be available for purchase throughout the night behind Section 104. Proceeds will support the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
Fans will also be able to pick up “I Fight For” dedication cards on the concourse that they can fill out to recognize loved ones affected by cancer.
Throughout the night, people impacted by cancer will be honored including during the National Anthem, in between periods, and with a special moment when a young cancer survivor from the area will ring a commemorative bell in celebration of Hockey Fights Cancer.
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena.
