On Friday, October 16, the PEI Rocket showed their support for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation at the Charlottetown Civic Centre with their "Paint the Rink Pink" event. All Rocket players wore specially-designed pink uniforms in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Fans were able to purchase raffle tickets on these one-of-a-kind, autographed, game-worn jerseys. Proceeds from the Jersey Raffle, as well as $5.00 per ticket sold for the game, were donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure Charlottetown.
The PEI Rocket are thrilled to be able to support such a worthwhile cause. "As part of our commitment to the community, the PEI Rocket is proud to support community activities such as this one," said Kent Hudson, General Manager, Business Operations with the PEI Rocket. "We continue to make every effort to ensure that we support our community in any way we can", added the GM.
