Sabres partner with Roswell Park to raise funds for 'Bald for Bucks' initiative

The Buffalo Sabres are partnering with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and its Bald for Bucks initiative to raise funds for critical cancer research and patient-care programs throughout the month of March. 

Fans can visit Sabres.com/BaldForBucks to donate, with donations of $50 or more receiving an exclusive Sabres-branded Bald for Bucks T-shirt. 

All money raised will remain in Western New York with the goal of accelerating promising research projects and supporting programs that assist patients during their cancer journey

“As we team up with the Buffalo Sabres for this impactful initiative, we're not just shaving heads; we're shaving away barriers to cancer care and research. Together, through Bald for Bucks, we're boldly confronting cancer and making a tangible difference in the lives of patients and their families in Western New York and beyond," said Candace Johnson, PhD, President and CEO of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The Sabres have been annual supporters of Bald for Bucks and were proud to help raise over $96,000 toward the initiative in 2023. Sabres broadcasters Dan Dunleavy and Marty Biron will once again have their heads shaved live during the MSG broadcast on March 29 in support of fundraising efforts.

"In the wake of the recent passing of a friend, suddenly my message this year is about pre-cancer screening," Dunleavy said. "You know your body better than anyone. If you don’t feel right or you sense something just isn’t right, go to your doctor, go to Roswell Park, tell them what you’re feeling and tell them you want a cancer screening."
