The Buffalo State men’s hockey team will sponsor a fundraiser event at its home game against Geneseo on Friday, Feb. 20 with all proceeds benefitting The Jacquie Hirsch for “A.L.L.” Foundation for research for acute lymphocytic leukemia at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
Hirsch, a former student-athlete at Geneseo and family friend of Buffalo State Head Coach Nick Carriere, lost her year-long fight with acute lymphocytic leukemia on Sept. 6, 2008.
The event will feature a 50/50 raffle, a brown bag auction with more than 25 baskets, “chuck-a-puck”, a bake sale and the sale of Jacquie’s foundation merchandise including hats, T-shirts, bracelets, decals and memory teddy bears.
The game will face off at 7 p.m. at the Buffalo State Ice Arena, and tickets will be available for $5 at the door beginning at 6 p.m. Buffalo State students with valid I.D. are free.
