Mississippi Sea Wolves News Release
BILOXI, Miss. â The Third Annual Face-Off Against Kids' Cancer game takes place on Sunday as the Mississippi Sea Wolves host the Pensacola Ice Pilots at 4:05 p.m. at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.
Following the game there will be an autographed commemorative jersey auction, raffle featuring memorabilia and postgame party from 7-9 p.m. at the Beau Rivage, Magnolia Ballroom. The entire team will be present accompanied by their special children to benefit the Courtney Boynton Foundation and Candlelighters for Childhood Cancer of the Gulf Coast.
Limited edition commemorative T-Shirts are on sale at the Sea Wolves hockey office, which also includes a ticket to the game on Sunday and an attached yellow voucher for $15 each. To enter the postgame festivities at Beau Rivage, each fan must present their yellow voucher.
Face-Off Against Kids' Cancer consists of 22 children matched with their own Sea Wolves hockey player for private gatherings during the season, which lead up to the event on Sunday.
Candlelighters For Childhood Cancer of the Gulf Coast is a non-profit support group dedicated to the financial, emotional and educational support of families of children with cancer. Their purpose is to alleviate the isolation many families feel at the time their child is diagnosed, to offer love, caring encouragement and understanding so that no one is left alone during childhood cancer. Their funds and experience are used to help families overcome the varied traumas and expenses not covered by any insurance or outside support.
The Sea Wolves get back into action at 7:35 p.m. on Friday against the Gwinnett Gladiators at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Shoe Carnival will be giving away a special puck to the first 1,000 fans. The game promotion also consists of Military 2-for-1, sponsored by Keesler Federal Credit Union, which offers all military personnel, active or retired, two tickets for the price of one by showing military identification at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum box office.
