shortly after warmups conclude with funds supporting the American Cancer Society health equity research and operations initiative. In addition, funds raised will provide underserved communities with rides to and from cancer-related appointments and screenings.
Tonight's 50/50 raffle, presented by Jim Ross Law Group, will benefit the American Cancer Society, a nationwide voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer.
Sticks used during warmups will be made available for auction later this week.
