Utica Comets News Release
All fans are encouraged to wear pink this Friday as the Utica Comets will host this year's Pink the Rink night to benefit the Breast Care Center of the Regional Cancer Center at Faxton St. Luke's Healthcare. It is a night dedicated to raise awareness and funds for those fighting breast cancer.
Last year's Pink the Rink event was held on Jan. 31, 2014 and raised $35,752.87 for the Breast Care Center. This year's game against the Milwaukee Admirals is already sold out.
The Comets will be wearing pink accented jerseys for the game that will be sold during a live auction immediately following Friday night's game.
All proceeds from the jersey auction, as well as the money raised from sale of the 50/50 tickets and any fan donations will be given to the Breast Care Center.
Faxton St. Luke's Healthcare (FSLH) offers breast care services including digital mammography, minimally invasive breast biopsies, surgery, medical and radiation oncology services and support through our nurse navigator program. Accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR), FSLH is proud to be the only Breast Imaging Center of Excellence in the Mohawk Valley and one of a few in the upstate region.
The Breast Care Center offers newly diagnosed breast cancer patients understandable, practical advice. A consultation includes techniques for post-operative drain care, a review of post-operative exercise, tips to reduce the risk of developing lymphedema and information on community support groups. The Center employs a nurse navigator as well as a nurse practitioner who are dedicated to providing patients and their families with seamless, coordinated care. They follow women from the time of a breast cancer diagnosis, through treatment and into survivorship.
