This year's Hockey Fights Cancer game will have a special focus and holds important meaning to a member of the Canucks family. In 2020, Natalie Miller's mother, Janet, passed away from metastatic melanoma. Since her diagnosis, J.T. and Natalie have supported the BC-founded Save Your Skin Foundation. The Vancouver Canucks are delighted to announce that a $20,000 donation will be made to the Save Your Skin Foundation on behalf of the Canucks for Kids Fund. If you would like to learn more about SYSF, they will be set up in Community Corner, section 111.
Fans are also invited to write their special person's name on the Hockey Fights Cancer "I Fight For" wall at section 102 and share via social media using the hashtag #HockeyFightsCancer. Together, we look to inspire hope and courage for those who are living with, going through and moving past cancer.
Other Hockey Fights Cancer awareness initiatives for the evening include:
