Lucky Number 7: Support for Drew Brown
If you aren’t already familiar with the story of Drew Brown you can read about his battle with bone cancer here. The cliff notes version is Drew is a Providence College men’s ice hockey player who was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare bone cancer, during Providence’s run in the Hockey East playoffs last season. Brown spent much of the last year in chemotherapy and had a surgery to insert a metal rod into his leg.
On Saturday, February 7th the men’s hockey team and the Student Athletic Advisory Council (S.A.A.C.) are hosting Drew Brown Night. Brown was recently declared cancer-free so Drew Brown Night will be a chance to celebrate that while also raising money for the Brown family to help offset some of their medical bills. Coast to Coast Promotions will donate 100% of the revenue generated by t-shirts they are selling to the Brown family. You can purchase those t-shirts here.

Providence Hockey Raising Money for Teammate Battling Cancer
Many in the Friar community are probably already familiar with the story of Drew Brown, the Providence College hockey player who is fighting a battle against cancer. The short version is the Ewings Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, was discovered in Drew’s leg while he was being evaluated and treated for an injury he suffered during the Hockey East Semifinals on March 21, 2014.
He recently had the tumor removed but continues to undergo chemotherapy and rehab and his teammates are coming together to raise money for the family to help offset medical expenses. Providence’s hockey team has put together a GoFundMe.com page and is calling their November campaign Beards for Brownie. They have raised over $1,300 as of this posting towards their goal of $10,000.
Please spread the word and give if you can. Every bit helps. Friartown is a family.
