Rochester Police Take to the Ice For Families Facing Cancer

Rochester Police officers will take to the ice in support of families facing cancer for the annual Face Off Against Cancer hockey game on Saturday, April 5, at Suburban Ice Rochester. Bring the family for raffles, giveaways and fun! Proceeds from the hockey game will benefit New Day Foundation for Families, a Rochester Hills nonprofit dedicated to reducing the financial burden and emotional stress caused by cancer.

COST: $10 per person; Family 4-Pack for $35 at the door or in advance at https://give.foundationforfamilies.org/event/face-off-against-cancer-hockey-game/e661257Children under 5 are free.

“Although we can’t change a cancer diagnosis, we can offer programs and services that directly impact the outcome,” said New Day President and Co-founder Gina Kell Spehn. “Last year alone, we helped more than 1,700 patients, caregivers and family members stay in their homes, maintain reliable transportation, and have protection from foreclosure, bankruptcy, hunger and utility shut offs. New Day also offers a free professional counseling network to give hope to those coping with the fear, anxiety, and toxic side effects of cancer treatment. We’re grateful to our local police officers who will be playing on behalf of our families.”

New Day Foundation for Families is a cancer care leader that provides financial and emotional resources to Michigan families facing cancer to address the harmful effects of financial toxicity. Hospitals and cancer centers statewide rely on New Day to identify and support families suffering a significant loss of income due to a cancer diagnosis. New Day is a Charity Navigator 4-star nonprofit, Platinum Level Guidestar organization and top-rated nonprofit by Great Nonprofits.
