FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The YMCA will host “Whether You’re a Princess or a Player, Get Checked: A Benefit for Cancer
Awareness” fundraising hockey game on Saturday April 10th, from 4-7 p.m at its 20th street location.
Tickets will be sold at the door for $5, with all proceeds going to ABCD (After Breast Cancer Diagnosis)
and ACS (American Cancer Society). Ticket price covers admission as well as one raffle ticket.
The Event will begin at 4 p.m with meet and greet, and signing opportunities from, Jinelle
(Zaugg) Siergiej, from the 2010 U.S. Silver Medal Olympic Hockey Team, and Shana Pawlowicz, Miss
Oshkosh 2010.
Following signing, Jinelle and The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network team will take on
The Oshkosh Ice Devils.
Shana Pawlowicz and Jinelle Siergiej both have strong ties to this cause. After Jinelle watched
both of her parents battle melanoma skin cancer she has become more aware of her body and the
dangers that the sun can do to it. She is very proactive in urging others to get checked.
Shana Pawlowicz has dealt with cancer first hand. Three years ago she was diagnosed with Thyroid
cancer, and ever since has been an advocate for the American Cancer Society in raising funds as well as
awareness of the importance of getting checked and staying healthy.
