Ducks Donate $20,000 to Support Cancer Services

As part of an ongoing partnership, the Anaheim Ducks recently presented Loma Linda University Health (LLUH) with a $20,000 donation to support patient services provided by the Loma Linda University Cancer Center (LLUCC). The funds were raised by the National Hockey League (NHL) club, Anaheim Ducks players, and fans through “Hockey Fights Cancer” night on Oct. 22, which included the sale of miniature hockey sticks signed by players and an in-game auction of Ducks memorabilia. “We are thankful to the Anaheim Ducks for its continuing help in raising cancer awareness and providing valuable funding that will augment our efforts to provide quality and compassionate care to our cancer patients,” said Judy Chatigny, executive director of the LLUCC. “We value our partnership with the Ducks and hope it will continue for many more years.” The “Hockey Fights Cancer” night is part of the NHL’s ongoing initiative to raise support and awareness for one of hockey’s most important fights. With lavender serving as the official “Hockey Fights Cancer” color (representing awareness for all types of cancers), the first 3,000 fans that arrived at the Oct. 22 game received lavender ribbons to wear for the game. Fans also had the opportunity to obtain "I Fight For" cards, which they used to fill in the name of loved ones who have been affected by cancer. During the game, there was a special moment of recognition, in which attendees held up their “I Fight For" cards to honor the person they knew battling the disease. “Virtually everyone has been touched by cancer or knows someone who has been affected by it,” said Graham Siderius, corporate partnership director for the Anaheim Ducks. “We know about the outstanding clinical and support services delivered by the Loma Linda University Cancer Center. The center has challenging work, and it is an indispensable resource for stricken patients. The Ducks and its fans are pleased to do our part to assist the effort.”
