Last season, Huskie athletes began the initiative Play For A Cure in hopes of raising money for cancer research. Together $18,674 was donated. The fundraising initiative will continue in the 2009-10 season with the newly added goal of raising awareness through education about cancer.

Play For A Cure will once again begin with the football head shave. The Huskies will shave their heads for cancer after their season is over, if fans, friends and supporters help them raise $5,000 — $1,000 more than last year. Other teams will also participate hosting cancer awareness nights at home games.

Donations to the cause can be made at any Huskie home game at the main gate, or at PAC main office (PAC 222) to Nicole Betker during regular business hours ( 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.), by phone at 306-966-1024 or, here, online. 

Help Huskie Athletics make cancer history.

Huskie Athletics is participating in a community-based fundraising event to support the mission of the Canadian Cancer Society. The money raised from this event helps the Society fund leading-edge cancer research, advocate for healthy public policies, offer vital community-based support services for people living with cancer and their families, and provide reliable and up-to-date information on cancer, risk reduction and treatment.

Please pledge Huskie Athletics and help us reach our fundraising goal.

Every pledge takes us one step further in the fight against cancer. Online pledging is secure and it saves the Canadian Cancer Society money by reducing administrative costs.
