Syracuse Crunch News Release


SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Syracuse Crunch are raising funds for cancer research at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital and Upstate Cancer Center with their Shave for Change initiative in support of the team's Change for Change program.

Shave for Change is a fundraising initiative created by the Crunch players to help support the team's Change for Change program and raise funds for cancer research throughout the month of November. If the team reaches their fundraising goal of $10,000, select Crunch players, including Felix Robert, Daniel Walcott and Shawn Element, will shave their heads prior to the team's Hockey Fights Cancer game on Nov. 24.

Fans can donate to the Shave for Change initiative at www.syracusecrunch.com/shave or by texting SHAVE to 76278. All fans that donate to Shave for Change will be entered into a raffle for a chance to help shave the Crunch players' heads. More information, including the shaving date, will be provided once the team hits their fundraising goal.

Change for Change is a fundraising program created by Crunch players that was inspired by a boy named Griffin Engle during the 2014-15 season. It aims to raise money for pediatric cancer research at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital and Upstate Cancer Center and help improve the odds for children with cancer.
