The NHL vs. Docs fundraiser, hosted by CBJ captain Nick Foligno, will take place August 11 in Sudbury, ON with the goal of raising funds and awareness of expanding pediatric care options in the Greater Sudbury area.
After raising $215,000 a year ago, this year's lineup of NHL talent could push the fundraiser above and beyond that benchmark. Representing the Blue Jackets will be Foligno, Cam Atkinson, Josh Anderson, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Seth Jones. Also in attendance will be; Tyler Bertuzzi, Matt Duchene, John Travares and Marc Staal.

"You try to leave the world a better place than when you came into it,” says @NickFoligno, who with the helping hands and dedication of his fellow players and @NEOKidsFDN, is doing just that through the annual #NHLvsDocs game.
