Dauphin and Swan River cancer units benefit from hockey fundraiser

The Parkland U18 Rangers, in conjunction with Embroidery by Design (Bill and Lynda Nicholson), have been proud to host a “Hockey Fights Cancer’ game for nearly 10 years. Bill and Lynda (Embroidery by Design), who are huge supporters of the Parkland Rangers, donate the special game day pink jerseys that are used for three games (over three years) and then auctioned off as a fundraiser. All proceeds from each year’s game (raffle, 50/50 draw and every third-year jerseys) are donated to cancer care wards within the Parkland. This year, the Parkland U18 Rangers were proud to provide the Dauphin and Swan River cancer units with $2000/each.

And, as an added bonus, the Rangers came out on top of the hockey contest by defeating the Southwest Cougars on October 31st 5-4.

Prairie Mountain Health thanks the Parkland U18 Rangers for their generous donations and ongoing support of cancer care in the health region.
