Orange county shoot for the cure

Orange County Shoot For The Cure

The “Orange County Shoot for the Cure” is an inaugural charity event to raise money for the fight against cancer.  Proceeds from this event will benefit two Orange County organizations, both of whom committed to health care services, research, prevention, education and the elimination of cancer.

Joe DiPenta, defenseman, of the 2006-2007 Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks invites you to join him for a day of Hocky Skills Competition.  Proceeds from this event will go towards the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) Oncology Floor and to the American Cancer Society (Cancer Research).

Our Mission: Our mission is to support local organizations that are committed to health care services, research, prevention, education and the elimination of cancer.

WHEN: Saturday, September 6, 2008, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

WHERE: 949 Roller Hockey Center, 3150 Barranca Pkwy. – Irvine, CA

WHY?

  • Despite the advances in cancer prevention and treatment, more than 11,000 Orange County residents are expected to receive a cancer diagnosis this year, and more than 4,000 are expected to die from this horrible disease.

  • Given the impact to our community, we chose to support ACS and CHOC. These are two organizations that are committed to the prevention and/or treatment of cancer patients, and their work benefits our local community.
