Cleveland Monsters News Release
CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Monsters host a rematch with the Chicago Wolves tonight for Blood Donor Awareness Night presented by true north Convenience Stores with the puck drop at 7:00 p.m. The Monsters fell to the Wolves 6-5 in overtime Wednesday night after a late third-period comeback effort led by Hunter McKown who recorded his first professional hat trick.
The Monsters Blood Donor Awareness Night is a cause spearheaded by Kathleen Vogelhuber, wife of Head Coach Trent Vogelhuber, after witnessing her brother's life saved due to blood transfusions. Together with the American Red Cross and truenorth Convenience Stores, the Monsters have brought this important cause back to the promotional schedule after a successful inaugural game in the 2023-24 season.
In addition to raising awareness on the importance of donating throughout the night, the Monsters will also be hosting a Blood Drive at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Wednesday, February 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Community members can sign up for an appointment to give blood or platelets and receive a special edition Monsters t-shirt with the slogan "Make the Ultimate Assist" here.
In conjunction with the night, truenorth Convenience Stores will donate $150 per save to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to support Student Visionaries of the Year. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world's largest nonprofit health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services.
