"Pink the Rink"
A couple weeks ago, "Pink the Rink" was held at Adrian College. My Dad had read about other teams doing similar events to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. He liked the idea and thought that it would be perfect for Adrian College. Both hockey coaches thought the idea was great and here it is. This year raised over $3,700 for the Hickman Cancer Center. ALL of the money will stay local and everyone is working on making next years event bigger and better!
Megan not really wanted to get kissed by Bruiser, Adrian College's new mascot a 4 month old bulldog puppy. He is adorable!
Grandma Berthold out on center ice with other survivors to drop the puck.
Co-captain, #25 Mike Towns, this is the jersey I bought during the auction.
Bruiser, in his Pink the Rink shirt.
My parents hanging out behind the auction table trying their best to get people to bid higher and higher on jerseys, but that really wasn't that hard. Lots of people wanted shirts and jerseys!
The Harrington's and the Schutte's just watching the game. For those of you that don't know, Michele had breast cancer and kicked it's ass and is now a survivor as well :)
The men's hockey team doing their normal thank you to the fans at the end of the game. It just looked extra special in the pink jerseys.
My Dad on the mic, thanking everyone for coming and supporting the hockey teams and Pink the Rink. He also had to announce who had the highest bids for the pink jerseys.
#25 just waiting for me to get there to hand me my jersey. He even folded it for me, granted it was soaking wet and smelly, but it was folded!
Shawn Skelly #20, posing with my mom, she bought his jersey. It is hard to see but he is wearing a breast cancer bracelet on one wrist and a "Live Strong" bracelet on the other wrist. That made me smile, knowing that he really did appreciate the event.
