Adirondack Thunder News Release
GLENS FALLS - The Adirondack Thunder are hosting Stick it to Cancer Weekend on Friday, February 27 against Maine and Saturday, February 28 against Trois-Rivieres. The weekend is presented by Glens Falls Hospital to benefit C.R. Wood Cancer Center's Randy's Patient Assistance Fund.
"We're incredibly proud to once again host Stick it to Cancer Weekend presented by Glens Falls Hospital," said Jeff Mead, President of the Adirondack Thunder. "This event is about more than hockey - it's about rallying around our neighbors and supporting Randy's Patient Assistance Fund, which provides immediate financial assistance to those receiving treatment. Thanks to the generosity of our fans, partners, and the entire Glens Falls community, we helped raise more than $37,000 last year. It's a powerful example of how sports can bring people together for a great cause, and we're honored to continue that tradition."
Last season, the weekend helped raise $37,323 for Randy's Patient Assistance Fund, which is a support program completely funded by community donations. The fund is provided to offset the financial burden of copayments, transportation and lodging while undergoing treatment for cancer. One hundred percent of all dollars received are used for patient expenses. The fund was started in 2013 with a generous donation from Randall Favreau's wife so that other community members would have support and assistance that was not available for them.
