Saves for a Cure

Senior Todd Sheridan (Edison, NJ) and The College at Brockport Ice Hockey team will be taking part in its annual Saves for a Cure game on Friday, February 19th when the Golden Eagles host SUNY Oswego at 7pm in the Tuttle North Ice Arena.

Saves for a Cure is a charity organization that Sheridan, a cancer survivor, started three years ago to raise money to help children in the Rochester area better cope with the challenges of undergoing cancer treatments. Throughout the season, any save made by a Brockport goalie raises money pledged by local businesses.

The hockey team will join forces with the Athletic Department and the College Bookstore to help boost the fund raising activity for the charity.

The Athletic Department will be donating all of the ticket-sale revenue from the Saves for a Cure game to the charity and The College at Brockport Bookstore will be donating 20% of the sales from any emblematic merchandise purchased between February 15-20, 2010. In addition, there will be a 50/50 raffle during the game and general donation buckets. All proceeds will be enhancing hospital stays for children undergoing cancer treatments at the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center in Rochester.

This year, the Golden Eagles will be wearing black jerseys with a white Saves for a Cure logo on the front during the Oswego game. The jerseys are available for auction beginning February 15 and continuing through February 20, at noon. Winners will be announced February 20 and also be contacted via email to confirm delivery of the jersey.

The auction can be found online Here or the link can be found on the hockey web page.
