The Dryden GM Ice Dogs and Red Lake Miners are getting ready to ‘Pink the Rink’.
The annual fundraising games for the local hospitals will be held tomorrow (Friday) in Cochenour and Saturday at the Memorial Arena.
Ice Dogs representative Natasha Lovenick Markham was a guest on the CKDR Morning Show to talk about the importance of both events.
“Real celebration of the health care that we are able to provide for those who are going through cancer treatment and have survived and thrived through it.”
She adds “Everyone has probably been touched at one point or another with cancer and as an organization the Dryden GM Ice Dogs are also familiar with members of our team that have been through the cancer treatment process, are currently going through the cancer treatment process.”
Lovenick Markham says “We really want to make sure that we do our part to support our local health care centre so that these individuals can stay home, have the treatment that they need, and become health and fight this awful, awful disease.”
The Miners host Fort Frances tomorrow night at 7:30pm, while Dryden GM welcomes Red Lake on Saturday at 7:30pm.
Fans are urged to wear pink and their will be a number of fundraising opportunities at both games.
