Pensacola Ice Pilots News Release
PENSACOLA, FL - Saturday night's first annual Pink in the Rink Night proved to be a huge success as the Ice Pilots along with the Santa Rosa Medical Center teamed up to raise $12,221 for the American Cancer Society to benefit breast cancer research and prevention.
"The event exceeded a lot of my expectations," said Mellani Gilbert of the Santa Rosa Medical Center. "I am excited about a bigger and better Pink in the Rink 2 for next season. Cancer is something that has affected all of us and I am truly blessed to be in a community that is so dedicated in the fight against cancer. There is always hope and I do this for the survivors."
The money was raised through the auction of the pink jerseys following the game which included Captain Dan Sullivan's jersey receiving $3,500 in the auction. In addition there were raffles and a silent auction to help the cause.
Don't miss the hard hitting, exciting action, as the Ice Pilots' next home game is Saturday, January 26 at 7:05 p.m. vs. Gwinnett at the Civic Center. Kids 12 and under can get a free ticket with one paid adult ticket. Group Tickets, Mini Plans, and Military Packages are still available through the Ice Pilots office.
