EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF) announced today the return of the Oilers “Hockey Fights Cancer” MEGA 50/50, running from the Oilers Hockey Fights Cancer game on Saturday, November 7 and continuing through November 27.
Net proceeds from the multi-day raffle will support the Alberta Cancer Foundation, Ben Stelter Foundation and Kids with Cancer Society, helping advance cancer research and treatment while providing critical care and support for children and families affected by cancer.
“We are proud to stand alongside Oil Country in the fight against cancer through this year’s Oilers Hockey Fights Cancer MEGA 50/50,” said Corey Smith, Board Chair, EOCF. “The Alberta Cancer Foundation, Ben Stelter Foundation and Kids with Cancer Society are making an incredible impact through research, patient care and support for children and families. We are grateful for Oil Country’s continued generosity and for always stepping up to support those who need it most.”
The Alberta Cancer Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of Albertans facing cancer by funding innovative research, advancing treatment and enhancing patient care across the province.
"For Albertans facing cancer, tomorrow's breakthroughs can't come soon enough,” said Wendy Beauchesne, CEO, Alberta Cancer Foundation. “That's why the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation 50/50 is so important. Every ticket purchased helps fund the research, treatment and care patients rely on today while bringing us closer to the discoveries that will shape cancer care in the future. We are incredibly grateful to all of Oil Country for helping create that impact."
Inspired by Ben Stelter, the young Oilers fan who captured the hearts of Oil Country and the hockey world, the Ben Stelter Foundation honours his legacy by supporting children and families affected by cancer through research, access to medical equipment and memorable experiences.
“The support we continue to receive from the Edmonton Oilers, Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation, and Oil Country is truly incredible,” said Mike Stelter, Executive Director, Ben Stelter Foundation.“Because of this generosity, the Ben Stelter Foundation is able to reach more children and families battling cancer, create unforgettable experiences, provide essential medical equipment, and invest in research and innovative treatments that offer hope for the future. We’re so grateful to have an entire community standing alongside us as we continue Ben’s legacy and work toward a brighter future for children battling cancer.”
