07 Oct Promise Fund Partners with Florida Panthers for Pink in The Rink
As part of its ongoing mission to increase survivorship from breast and cervical cancer by elevating public awareness on the importance of screening and early detection, Promise Fund has partnered with the Florida Panthers and Baptist Health Cancer Care for its 3rd annual Pink in the Rink event, taking place on Saturday, Oct. 19, starting at 7 p.m. at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, FL.
The event will honor those currently battling breast cancer, as well as those who have overcome it, and showcase the dedicated members of the local medical community who work fearlessly to help their patients overcome the disease.
“We are both humbled and honored to partner with our hometown Stanley Cup Championship team,” said Nancy Brinker, Promise Fund Founder. “The Florida Panthers and Baptist Health Cancer Care have become invaluable partners in helping us amplify our mission to ensure women in our community have an opportunity to get screened and receive potentially life-saving information on early detection.”
“For the third year in a row, we are so proud to partner with Promise Fund and Baptist Health Cancer Care to present this special night at a Panther 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 Care Center, with a portion of general admission tickets benefitting Promise Fund.
