Ralston, NE "" The Omaha Lancers, proud members of the United States Hockey League, along with MCL Construction, are honored to announce that through the generous efforts of fans, $7,800 was raised for "Scare Away Cancer" during the October 31st game against the Lincoln Stars.
"The jersey's we auctioned off were awesome. It was great to see fans react in such a positive way to such an important cause," said Travis Justice, Director of Business Development & Marketing for MCL Construction and Scare Away Cancer. "The Omaha Lancers have been a big supporter of Scare Away Cancer for a couple of years now; their support has really helped us grow our mission as well as awareness of our organization."
The Lancers sported five-different special Halloween themed uniforms that were silently auctioned off during the first and second periods of the game on the concourse with all proceeds going to the Scare Away Cancer.
"We're very pleased with how the night went," said Omaha Lancers' President, Bryan Marshall. "Scare Away Cancer is such an amazing organization that does so much for so many people. We're thrilled to partner with them and happy to contribute to the cause."
The night began with Trunk-or-Treat from 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. in the parking lot outside of Ralston Arena. That was followed by the first 1,000 fans receiving a free Omaha Lancers Halloween Mask. During the first intermission, fans participated in an on-ice costume contest with prizes awarded to the best dressed. Throughout the concourse, candy stations were set up during the game.
Now in its fifth year, Scare Away Cancer has raised over $400,000 for cancer patients and their families as well as programs like the Inner Beauty Salon and the Infusion Center at the Estabrook Cancer Center at Methodist Hospital. These programs make a difference for the people fighting cancer as well as their families.
"The Omaha Lancers have been a strong partner in the community for 30-years and the difference they make goes way beyond hockey and sports," added Justice. "We can't wait to partner with the Omaha Lancers in 2016 for another jersey auction, making it bigger and better to help Scare Away Cancer!"
The Omaha Lancers are back on the road Friday night in Sioux Falls to face the defending Clark Cup Champion, Sioux Falls Stampede before returning home Saturday to host Des Moines on Military Appreciation Night at Ralston Arena! The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. and fans can listen live beginning at 6:50 p.m. on "The Mighty" 1290 KOIL, Mighty 1290 KOIL Mobile APP, www.mighty1290koil.com, and FASTHockey.com.
