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.

Dropping Mitts Against Cancer: Drew Brown

If you haven’t already heard, Providence College hockey junior forward Drew Brown has been diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma which is a rare bone cancer. It is the same cancer that former Boston College football player Mark Herzlich had at BC. A gofundme has been set up to assist Drew’s family with any medical bills and travel expenses over these next 8 to 13 months as Drew gets treatment towards beating this cancer. In the 15 hours since this site has been active, 20 people have donated $1,400 towards their goal of $18,000. Please take a moment to visit the site and donate if you can:
