What?
Since 2015, the Dana-Farber Rink Rats annual hockey game has helped to raise more than $165,000 for cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The Rink Rats team is comprised of Dana-Farber physicians, faculty, and staff, who are committed to serving our community on and off the ice. Each year our Rink Rats lace up to take on our contenders, the Boston Bruins Alumni, in a friendly competition to raise funds to make an important difference in the lives of our patients and their families.
The fundraising goal for this event is $40,000. Each player is committed to contributing to this fundraising goal to honor those we know and love battling this disease. To donate in support of a Rink Rat player, please select the specific individual’s fundraising page from the "Support a Player" tab above. All donations are greatly appreciated, and one hundred percent of all money raised is given directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
