the 15th annual Pink in the Rink game, which will be held on Saturday, February 3, 2023 against the Niagara Ice Dogs at 7:05 pm.
After raising a total of $954,136 over the past 14 years, the Petes announced that this year’s fundraising goal is $50,000. If achieved, the Petes and the Peterborough community will hit $1,000,000 raised in the fight against cancer in Pink in the Rink’s history.
This season, funds from the Pink in the Rink campaign will support the Wheels of Hope transportation program at the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS). This program connects people to cancer treatments with volunteer drivers and travel cost reimbursements. It links those in need with a network of volunteers who extend their hearts and vehicles to those embarking on the toughest journey of their lives. For those who need to travel on their own, it’s the assurance that some of their travel costs may be alleviated and that they have a safe, comfortable and reliable ride to and from treatment.
