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.
