Crystal’s Legacy - Face off against Cancer Tournament

Hello Everyone,

In September 2008 I will be participating in a very special and powerful event in the fight against cancer. This event is a hockey tournament called “Face-Off Against Cancer” where I will be joining hundreds of players who all share a love for hockey and a passion to “stick it to cancer.” Net proceeds for this year’s event will go to support malignant melanoma cancer research through the Alberta Cancer Foundation, a cancer that could easily affect you or someone you love as well as supporting local Calgary families that have been affected by cancer.

I have set a personal goal to raise money for this cause, but I need your help to do it. Would you consider making a fully tax deductible donation to help me meet my goal? In partnership, The Memory Foundation and The Alberta Cancer Foundation will put your donation towards treatments, support and research towards finding a cure for this dangerous disease.

For those that don’t know, during Crystal Violante’s battle with cancer, I spent my time raising awareness for her cause, the Tom Baker Center, and Hospice Calgary. Right before Crystal passed away, I promised her that I would dedicate my time to making a difference in her honour. I had been introduced to Memory’s Foundation through their support for Crystal’s family during their struggles and was asked to join Memory’s Foundation/Alberta Cancer Foundation in January. This is an organization that I am extremely proud to be a part of and thankful for all the support from my friends and family.

This year’s Face-Off Against Cancer is honoring Crystal Violante who lost a courageous battle against malignant melanoma in December 2007 leaving behind a beautiful baby girl Mattea and her husband Anthony behind.
