Milwaukee Admirals News Release
Milwaukee, WI -Admirals players Wacey Rabbit and Reid Cashman and team play-by-play broadcaster Aaron Sims have thrown their hair into the ring, so to speak, and will join teammates Ben Guite, Scott Ford, and Ryan Thang and Admirals President Jon Greenberg and shave their heads to help raise money for the MACC Fund.
The deed will take place on the ice following the team's final regular season this Sunday, April 11th at 5:00 pm at the Bradley Center against the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Fans still have the opportunity to both cut and shave the hair of the participants. For each donation of $20, fans can cut one piece of hair off the participant of their choosing, however there is a limit of 25 cuts per player. When all of the cuts are done one lucky fan for each player will have the opportunity to then shave their head. There will be a silent auction at the DigiCopy Information Table located outside section 225 at Sunday's game that will end with five minutes to go in the second intermission at Sunday's game.
SportClips will provide all of the tools and equipment necessary to complete the head shaving and also to oversee the process.
Proceeds of the season-ending head shaving to benefit the MACC Fund will help the MACC Fund continue to support research at the Medical College of Wisconsin in the MACC Fund Research Center, at the University of Wisconsin's Paul Carbone Cancer Center in the MACC Fund Childhood Cancer Research Wing of the Wisconsin Interdisciplinary Medical Research Center and in the MACC Fund Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Since its inception in 1976, the MACC Fund has contributed $36 million for pediatric cancer and blood disorder research for diseases like aplastic anemia and sickle cell. The overall cure rate for childhood cancer has risen from 20% to 80% since the inception of the MACC Fund 33 years ago with the MACC Fund's support playing an important role in that progress.
Fans can buy tickets for the game by calling Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Groups of ten or more people receive a minimum of $2 off of each ticket. For more information or to order group tickets call the Admirals office at (414) 227-0550.
