ESTERO, FL - Florida Everblades President and General Manager Craig Brush is proud to announce that the organization helped raise nearly $30,000 for the Piper Lynne Buckley Foundation through the charity Alumni Game held at Germain Arena last night.
In all through ticket sales, a live jersey auction and silent auction items, $29,448 was raised during last night's event. A paid crowd of 1,875 watched a team of Everblades alumnus's take on a squad of current Everblades in two 20-minute periods.
