In honor of this year’s 25th anniversary of Hockey Fights Cancer, AstraZeneca is also proud to present the season-long NHL Hat Trick Challenge.

With a $5,000 donation for every hat trick this season, AstraZeneca has officially reached its donation goal of $500,000 to the Hockey Fights Cancer Fund of the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

AstraZeneca’s bold ambition is to one day eliminate cancer as a cause of death.

AstraZeneca follows the science to understand cancer and all its complexities to discover, develop and deliver life-changing medicines to patients. AstraZeneca knows no one organization can achieve this ambition alone and is proud to partner with the NHL, NHLPA and the V Foundation for Cancer Research through the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative to face-off against cancer and collectively support those living with and touched by cancer.
