Last summer’s 11 Day Power Play Event was the mastermind of Amy & Mike Lesakowski, fueled by merging their passion for hockey and fighting cancer. Amy, a cancer survivor herself and Mike, who’s mother passed away from lung cancer, created the event in the hope of making a difference. The founders, and the 40 men who endured 11 grueling days of continuous hockey, not only created an incredible event to raise money and awareness for cancer research, they also managed to capture the hearts of the community through their efforts.
When the event wrapped up, the Lesakowskis and their board discovered they overwhelmingly surpassed their million dollar goal and knew they had more fight in them. While taking a much deserved rest on the shores of Lake Erie, Mike and Amy came up with a plan to keep the momentum going in 2018, by involving the incredible Buffalo community. Hence, the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift evolved! The event returns to HARBORCENTER July 5th-15th, 2018, which is free and open to the public.
