It’s always heartening to see how dedicated our young people are to helping out our community and those in need.
The latest example of this is coming up Wednesday, Jan. 14, when the Webster Thomas and Webster Schroeder varsity hockey teams come together for their first-ever joint One Webster Hockey Fights Cancer Night.
The theme is “ONE night, ONE cause, ONE check, ONE community,” its goal to bring together student-athletes, families, and the broader community for a shared cause.
Admission to the game is $1, with all proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. In the days leading up to the game, players will sell luminary bags for $5 each at their schools during free periods and lunch blocks. Students and community members are encouraged to decorate the luminary bags in honor or in memory of loved ones affected by cancer. All decorated bags will be displayed at the rink on the night of the game. Additional luminary bags and Hockey Fights Cancer T-shirts will be available for purchase at the arena during the event.
Community members who are unable to attend the game but wish to support the cause may donate online here.
Webster Thomas held its own Hockey Fights Cancer Night last year, and raised $1,600 for cancer research and support services. Organizers hope that partnering with Webster Schroeder this year will significantly increase that impact and raise $3,000 this year.
The Hockey Fights Cancer Night is Wednesday, Jan. 14 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Webster Ice Arena, 865 Publishers Parkway.
