Pink the Rink Raises Over $78,000

The Silvertips would like to thank all of our loyal fans and supporters, as well as Safeway, for helping us raise more money for the local fight against breast cancer through last week's "Pink the Rink" event than the previous two years combined, totaling over $78,000 in donations! Since 2009, the Silvertips' "Pink the Rink" has now raised over $129,000 to pay for free mammograms for local women with no insurance or no means to pay. A generous donation of $50,000 from Safeway, which was announced just prior to the game against Seattle, helped give the fundraising efforts an enormous boost. The rest of the astounding total was accomplished thanks to the combined donations made by fans mostly through sales of tickets, team-signed sticks, and the auction of the specialty pink jerseys worn by the Silvertips during the game.

Bid on Simpson's Goalie Mask

Did you miss last Friday's "Pink the Rink" game or lose your highest bid on your favorite player's pink jersey' It's not too late to get involved and make your donation to the cause, while taking home a piece of Silvertips history in the process! Bidding on Kent Simpson's one-of-a-kind, game-used pink goalie mask from the game against the Thunderbirds continues until Noon tomorrow online at www.everettsilvertips.com/pinktherink. In addition to getting this unique, authentic piece of memorabilia, you'll also be adding even more money to the Silvertips' local fight against breast cancer!
