Chippewa Steel News Release
Chippewa Falls, WI - The Chippewa Steel and Prevea Health have partnered together for Hockey Fights Cancer Night, which is being held on Saturday, Oct. 5. Chippewa Steel players will wear special pink jerseys that will be auctioned off to raise money for the future HSHS St. Joseph's and Sacred Heart hospitals and Prevea mobile mammography unit, which will help provide early detection access to surrounding rural communities.
The ceremonial puck drop will be done by local breast cancer survivor and patient of the Prevea Cancer Center at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital, Kathy Shear. View her story here.
According to Prevea Health approximately 93,000 women in a 60-mile radius of HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's hospitals won't get regular mammograms because of time and travel challenges. Prevea and HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's hospitals are looking to provide access with a mobile mammography vehicle.
Tickets for the Hockey Fights Cancer Night presented by Prevea Health can be purchased by calling 715-861-2131 or visiting chippewasteelhockey.com
