SUNRISE, Fla. –  The Florida Panthers announced today that, in partnership with Baptist Health Cancer Care, the club will host its annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night on Saturday, Nov. 16 when the Panthers host the Winnipeg Jets at 7 p.m. (ET).

All fans in attendance during the Hockey Fights Cancer game will receive a purple LED baton courtesy of Baptist Health Cancer Care. Fans are also invited to fill out ‘I Fight For’ cards inside main doors at Amerant Bank Arena, as well as the Baptist Health activation area on the Publix Plaza, to share their stories and show support for those who are battling.

“We are honored to celebrate Hockey Fights Cancer with Baptist Health Cancer Care to raise funds and awareness for cancer research,” said Panthers Chief Revenue Officer Shawn Thornton. “Throughout the day, starting with the sold out Stache Dash 5K, we will support individuals and families impacted by cancer and honor the doctors and medical professionals for their research and commitment for finding a cure.”

The Panthers will have special Hockey Fights Cancer jerseys that will be available for auction beginning Friday, Nov. 15 until Nov. 22 through the Florida Panthers Foundation at flapanthers.givesmart.com. Additionally, fans can purchase mystery-signed Hockey Fights Cancer pucks both online and at the Foundation table at Amerant Bank Arena on Nov. 16.

Fans can also purchase from the exclusive Hockey Fights Cancer merchandise collection in Pantherland and on FLATeamShop.com including jerseys, hats, pucks and more.

The Panthers Foundation will present Baptist Health Cancer Care with a $50,000 donation to support cancer research and awareness, and fans are invited to support with their own monetary donations at FlaPanthers.givesmart.com.

“At Baptist Health Cancer Care, we are proud to partner with the Florida Panthers to support the fight against cancer and raise awareness for the vital work being done in our community, said Michael Zinner, MD, CEO and Executive Medical Director of Miami Cancer Institute and Baptist Health Cancer Care. This partnership allows us to amplify a powerful reminder of the importance of coming together to make a difference, whether on the ice or in the fight against cancer. We look forward to an exciting night that celebrates hope, resilience, and the strength of our community.”

The Panthers will honor Retired U.S. Navy veteran, Marvin Craig as their ‘Heroes Among Us’ honoree on Nov. 16.
