Special jersey created for Pink in the Rink this year

The Peterborough Petes, in association with the Canadian Cancer Society Peterborough & District Unit, launched their sixth annual Petes Pink in the Rink fundraising campaign today (November 25th) at PMC. It was announced that the 2014-2015 Pink in the Rink campaign honourary chairperson is renowned sports anchor and Peterborough-bred Dan O’Toole. O'Toole skyped in for the press conference from his home in LA—and will be in attendance at the annual Pink in the Rink game at PMC on Saturday, February 7th against the Windsor Spitfires.

This year, a special jersey design (see above) has been created to honour those affected by cancer. For a donation of $20 to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Petes will print the name of someone who has or continues to battle cancer, or who lost a fight to cancer, on each jersey.
There is space for just 300 names on the jerseys. Fans must make their donation by Tuesday, December 9th. Contact the Canadian Cancer Society Peterborough office or Peterborough Petes office for info.

In addition, fans will have the opportunity to bid on and purchase commemorative game-worn jerseys during a live post-game auction, and commemorative fundraising scarves and T-shirts will also be available for purchase.

Through five years, the Petes and the Canadian Cancer Society Peterborough & District Unit have raised over $288,000 in the fight against various cancers. This year, the goal is to raise $62,000 more. The Canadian Cancer Society Office is located at 730 The Kingsway, Unit 2, in Peterborough.
