Bring the family and enjoy raffles, giveaways and fun!  Admission is 
$10 per person or $35 for a Family 4-Pack at the door or in advance at https://give.foundationforfamilies.org/event/face-off-against-cancer-hockey-game/e661257.  Children under 5 are free.
 
“Although we can’t change a cancer diagnosis, we can offer programs and services that directly impact the outcome,” said New Day President and Co-founder Gina Kell Spehn.  “Last year alone, we helped more than 1,700 patients, caregivers and family members stay in their homes, maintain reliable transportation, and have protection from foreclosure, bankruptcy, hunger and utility shut offs. New Day also offers a free professional counseling network to give hope to those coping with the fear, anxiety, and toxic side effects of cancer treatment. We’re grateful to our local police officers who will be playing on behalf of our families.”
 
New Day Foundation for Families is a cancer care leader that provides financial and emotional resources to Michigan families facing cancer to address the harmful effects of financial toxicity. Hospitals and cancer centers statewide rely on New Day to identify and support families suffering a significant loss of income due to a cancer diagnosis. New Day is a Charity Navigator 4-star nonprofit, Platinum Level Guidestar organization and top-rated nonprofit by Great Nonprofits.
