Prince George, BC- When supporters of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) take to the streets for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, the Prince George Cougars will be among them. The entire team, along with coaches and office staff, will attend the Run on Sunday, October 4^th which kicks off at the Prince George Civic Centre at 9:30am. The Run follows the Pink Power Play game at CN Centre on Saturday, October 3^rd which aims to raise awareness and funds for the CBCF.

The Cougars will model pink skate laces, pink sock and stick tape as they take on the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the October 3^rd game. Cougars fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game for a chance to win prizes including a grand prize package featuring a pair of Cougars tickets, a $50 gift certificate courtesy of Tony Roma’s and a bouquet of flowers courtesy of Grower Direct each month for the rest of the regular season. Eleven breast cancer survivors will enjoy the game from the suite courtesy of the Cougars.

“As role models in our community the Prince George Cougars feel privileged to be able to raise awareness and funds to support a cause such as breast cancer, which has affected so many lives,” said Cougars Captain Art Bidlevskii. “Taking part in the Run and dedicating a game to breast cancer awareness is a very rewarding experience for the whole organization.”

“We are very proud to have the opportunity to focus attention on the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation through the Pink Power Play game and invite fans to come out to the game on October 3rd to show their support,” said Cougars Vice President Brandi Brodsky. “We hope that bringing the team to the Run the following day will encourage more people to register and fundraise.”
