Nassau/Suffolk PBA Charity Game Next Saturday
A Friendly Reminder About A Good Cause
Prior to the October 29th game against the San Jose Sharks, the Islanders are hosting a charity game for the Nassau and Suffolk PBAs at 1pm. The Islanders have reduced ticket prices in certain sections for this event, which includes access to a pre-game family skate on the ice at 4pm and tickets to that night’s Islanders/Sharks game at 7pm. That’s right, not only can you help support the families of local police killed in the line of duty but they’re rewarding you for doing so with tickets for that night’s game, and a pre-game skate. I’ll let Officer John Kannengeiser explain further:
We, as fellow Police Officers and hockey players have the unique opportunity to combine our love of the game with an inherent need to help the families of our fallen brothers.
The proceeds will be donated to the families of Nassau County Police Officers Michael Califano and Geoffrey Breitkopf and Suffolk County Police Officer Glen Ciano, who were all tragically killed in the line of duty over the course of the past two years. These three exemplary officers left behind wives and a combined seven children, many of whom are very young. It goes without saying, the difficulties these families are experiencing each and every day as they try and move forward with their lives.
The New York Islanders have been kind enough to help out by hosting this event. The Islanders have secured sections in the Coliseum for which tickets will be sold at a discounted rate. Certain $84 tickets will be reduced to $40 and certain $40 tickets will be reduced to $30 for this event.
Please note, the discount only applies to tickets bought in advance. Walk-ups will not be discounted. To purchase tickets, contact Cliff Gault at (516) 501-6763 or mail in this form. Alternatively, you can contact the Suffolk PBA Office in Boheima (631-563-4200) or the Nassau PBA Office in Mineola (516-294-6230).
