Petes Announce Fundraising Total of $45,153 for the 16th Annual Pink in the RInk Campaign
The Peterborough Petes have officially announced their fundraising total for the 16th Annual Pink in the Rink Campaign. A total of $45,153 has been raised in support of Pedal for Hope, a part of Cops for Cancer at the Canadian Cancer Society.
This year’s Campaign featured a month-long fundraising effort which included an online donation page, as well as t-shirt, window sticker, and replica jersey sales. On February 1, the Petes hosted their Pink in the Rink Game against the Oshawa Generals. During the game, more fundraising took place, with a silent auction, Chuck-A-Pep, and on-ice game jersey auction all adding to the total.
Funds raised for this year’s Campaign are in support of Pedal for Hope, a part of Cops for Cancer at the Canadian Cancer Society. In addition to supporting pediatric cancer research, the Pedal for Hope tour also raises funds to support the Pediatric Family Counselling Service. This program provides much needed support to families and children coping with a cancer diagnosis, as well as young adults who have surpassed their diagnosis as they transition into adulthood.
The Peterborough Petes would like to thank everyone for their continued support of the Petes Pink in the Rink Campaign. Thanks to the support of the volunteers, donors, and the community, Pink in the Rink continues to be the biggest ongoing fundraiser in the OHL.
The Petes are back in action on Friday, February 7, when they travel to London to take on the league leading London Knights. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Canada Life Place. The game will be broadcasted on YourTV Peterborough and Freq 90.5.
