The Chatham Maroons organization is continuing its commitment to breast cancer awareness.
The Maroons hosted its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Night on Sunday. Maroons Vice President Karen Szekesy called it a huge success.
“The just over $3,000 raised from the auction will be shared by The Breast Buddies and by the Canadian Cancer Society,” explained Szekesy.
Auction items included the special ‘pink’ game-worn jerseys, Sarnia Sting tickets and an autographed hockey stick.
Members of The Breast Buddies, a group of breast cancer survivors who have taken up dragon boat racing, were also in attendance for a special pre-game ceremony. The group has made it their mission to promote awareness of quality of life after a diagnosis of breast cancer.
Since 2013, the Maroons' Breast Cancer Awareness Night has raised over $23,000.
