York High School Boys Hockey Team Donates Tournament Proceeds to York Hospital Cancer Fund

The York High School Boys Hockey Team is making an impact on and off the ice, donating proceeds from this year’s “Pink in the Rink” fundraiser to the York Hospital Living Well With Cancer Fund. The event raised more than $700 through raffles, a bake sale, and in-kind donations from local businesses.

Dr. Patrick Taylor, president & CEO; David Hall, chief philanthropy officer; Susan Kelly-Westman, oncology social worker; and Mary Ellen Valhos, oncology practice manager, accepted the team’s donation Monday, Feb. 24, on the York Hospital campus.

“We are very grateful to these local players for thinking of cancer patients in our community and doing something so tangible to help,” said Dr. Taylor. “York Hospital is pleased to accept these tournament proceeds to support people as they navigate their treatment and recovery.”

Susan Kelly-Westman explained that the Living Well With Cancer Fund provides assistance such as prosthetics, wigs, gas cards for travel to and from treatment, and educational sessions promoting health and healing.

“We’re incredibly grateful to all the boys on the hockey team, as well as their coaches and parents, for continuing to support this important fund at York Hospital through the annual ‘Pink in the Rink’ tournament. Go, York!” said Kelly-Westman.
