Albany Devils Fight Cancer Night Details
The Devils are hosting the third annual "Albany Devils Fight Cancer Night" with $5 of every "Fight Cancer Night" ticket benefiting the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at the Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital at Albany Medical Center.
- Piper Wiegert, 11, will participate in the ceremonial puck drop. In 2012, Piper was diagnosed with leukemia and received treatment at the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at the Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital at Albany Medical Center. Despite the challenges of three years of difficult chemotherapy, Piper is working to return to sports and is a high honors student, who would one day like to work as a medical professional to return the favor and help cure sick children.
- The Devils will present representatives from the Melodies Center with a check during the first stoppage after the 10-minute mark of the first period. The Devils raised more than $14,000 for the Melodies Center with their Holiday Jersey auction last December.
- The Devils wives and girlfriends will be selling baked goods behind section 124 to support the Melodies Center.
