Updated Information: Hockey Kicks Cancer

The Pittsburgh sports blogging community will be holding a charity kickball tournament on October 6th to celebrate Hockey Fights Cancer Month. Proceeds will be donated to our local chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which Hockey Fights Cancer benefits. We are working directly with a coordinator for LLS and they will be present at the event to help us distribute information on the work that they do and how the community can help.

Please join Crosby FTW, High Heels & Hockey, The Pensblog, PensNation, Faceoff Factor, and Slewfooters for a day of kickball, raffles, prizes, and more!

The tournament will be divided into teams of 10. When signing up, be sure to talk to your friends and family so that you are able to get onto the same teams. We will update the form when teams fill up.

If you want to represent a blog team, but it is indicated that the team is full, please let us know and we will create a B team for our blogs. Also, you are more than welcome to form your own team of 10 for the event. Please contact Stevie (heelsandhockey@gmail.com) and we will add your team to the registration form.

If you do not wish to play but would like to come out and support the teams, you may sign up to attend as a spectator. Per request, we are now accepting donations in order to receive a t-shirt via mail for those whom are unable to attend.  The option is now on the sign up form.
