A Survivor at Every Rink: Calgary Flames
November 12, 2013
Calgary, Alberta, Canada. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month! Team Draft returns to Canada for the second time this year, as the Calgary Flames take on the San Jose Sharks. The Canadian Cancer Society group will represent Team Draft's "A Survivor at Every Rink"program at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday night.
Team Draft's goals are to create a unique experience for participating survivors and to raise awareness on a local, national, and international level by using each game and each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of lung cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease.
Thank you NHL, Calgary Flames, and Canadian Cancer Society of Alberta for joining forces with Team Draft to make this experience possible.
