SAN ANTONIO (October 31, 2011) - The San Antonio Rampage will host Face-Off Against Kids Cancer Night this Saturday when the Rampage take on the Toronto Marlies at 7 p.m. at the AT&T Center.

The team will wear specially designed jerseys featuring the Face-Off Against Kids Cancer logo on the front. The jerseys will be auctioned off immediately after the game with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Face-Off Against Kids Cancer and Christus Santa Rosa. The Rampage have raised more than $15,000 to benefit the Face-Off Against Kids Cancer program since its inception in 2009.

Also on Saturday, the Rampage will host a book drive, in partnership with The UPS Store, where fans can drop off any new or gently used children's books in the collection bins at each of the arena entrances. Fans who donate a children's book will receive a Rampage bookmark and a complimentary ticket to a future Rampage game.

Face-Off Against Kids Cancer is a program that pairs Rampage hockey players with children from the Centers for Oncology and Blood Disorders at Christus Santa Rosa, in either early stages of treatment for pediatric cancer or in remission. Through a series of social events that have included a pizza and board game party at the hospital, an ice cream social after a Rampage game, a visit to SeaWorld and the San Antonio Rodeo, the program helps Rampage players forge lasting relationships with their respective buddies over the course of the season.

Originally initiated by the Mississippi Sea Wolves Hockey Club in 2003 and duplicated by the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies Hockey Club and the Phoenix RoadRunners Hockey Club, Face-Off Against Kids Cancer has touched hundreds of lives and raised thousands of dollars since its inception.

Tickets start at $10 and can be purchased by calling a Rampage representative at 210.444.5554 or logging on to sarampage.com.
