SUNRISE, Fla. - In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Florida Panthers today announced ways fans can participate in events and support throughout the month of October.
The Panthers will host their third-annual Pink in the Rink night presented in conjunction with Baptist Health Cancer Care and Promise Fund on Saturday, Oct. 19 when they host the Vegas Golden Knights at 6 p.m. The night will honor those who have battled breast cancer and the medical professionals who work hard to treat and find a cure for the disease.
“For the third year in a row, we are so proud to partner with the Promise Fund and Baptist Health Cancer Care to present this special night at a Panthers game,” said President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Zito. “Please join us and support in any way you can, sharing your story, wearing pink, or sharing a message with individuals who need to hear it. Let’s fight together.”
All fans in attendance will receive a pink LED baton courtesy of Baptist Health Cancer Care. Designed by local artist Nicole ‘Nico’ Holderbaum, the Panthers will have specialty Pink in the Rink jerseys available for auction at FlaPanthers.givesmart.com with proceeds benefiting Promise Fund.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Florida Panthers for Pink in the Rink – a night dedicated to raising awareness for breast cancer”, said Michael Zinner, M.D., CEO, Baptist Health Cancer Care. “This collaboration not only highlights the importance of early detection and education but also fosters a sense of community support for those affected by this disease. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the fight against breast cancer.”
The Panthers will honor 10-year U.S. Army veteran Kenyetta Royal who is a breast cancer survivor as part of their ‘Heroes Among Us’ program that night.
Starting at 8 a.m. on Oct. 19, American Cancer Society will host their ‘Making Strides of Broward County’ walk at Amerant Bank Arena for a second consecutive year. The community can sign up to participate in the walk by clicking here.
