This week the Green Bay Gamblers, a Tier 1 junior ice hockey team of the United States Hockey League (USHL)that plays out of Green Bay, Wisconsin, shaved their heads to show support for cancer patients.
The unified haircut came just days before the team hosts its 6th annual "Caps for Cancer Toss" during this Saturday's game versus Team U.S.A. All those attending the game are asked to throw a new hat onto the ice that will be donated to cancer patients. Hats that are especially needed are those for women and children. Last year's event garnered nearly 3,000 hats.
The Gamblers aren't just showing their support by shaving their heads, they will also be wearing pink jerseys which will be auctioned off after the game to recognize October as being Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Also COOL, the team will donate a $1 from every ticket sold to the Vince Lombardi Cancer Center at Aurora Bay Care Medical Center.
Here's to all the players on the Green Bay Gamblers and the rest of the organization for taking the time to show support for those in need-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
What do you think of the Green Bay Gamblers and the organizations efforts to support cancer patients?
