PETERBOROUGH, ON - Pink was definitely in the rink last night as the Peterborough Petes played their special "Pink in the Rink" game against the Barrie Colts to help raise funds for Breast Cancer Research. Although the Petes came out on the losing end of a lopsided 7-2 score, the night was about more than that. It was about creating Breast Cancer Awareness while celebrating the survivors and remembering those who have been touched by the disease.
The Peterborough Petes organization, with the help of the community, raised $51,614. The big ticket items, the pink jerseys, received the top money total, raising $13,200. Here is the list of the jerseys and what they went for.
Jason Missiaen - $350
Andrew D'Agostini - $275
Adrian Robertson - $325
Brian Birkhoff - $300
Jeff Braithwaite - $350
Christopher Breen - $350
Zach Tatrn - $270
Luke Hietkamp - $325
Pat Daley - $225
Justin Larson - $325
Austin Watson - $425
Jamie Wise - $340
Jack Walchessen - $400
Matt Puempel - $1,000
Joey West - $400
Christopher Buonomo - $350

In all it was a very successful night that will hopefully become one of many more. Next action for the Petes is tomorrow night when they travel to Erie to take on Derek Holden and the Erie Otters, 7:00 PM.
I think it was pretty great what you guys did for awareness.
ReplyDeleteIt's definatly nice to see a money raiser that isn't a 10K run or something like that.
It's been a few years since I've had a chance to see a Petes' games.
