Castleton’s Pink the Rink event nets donation for RRMC Breast Care Program

Vermont Business Magazine On April 16, the Castleton University Women’s Hockey Team presented a donation of $2,831 in the form of a giant pink check, to the Foley Cancer Center in support of RRMC’s Breast Care Program. These proceeds were raised from the annual Pink the Rink event held on January 25, 2019 at Spartan Arena. Among those present at the presentation were physicians and staff from the Foley Cancer Center, Castleton University President Karen Scolforo, Athletic Director Deanna Tyson, Head Coach Mike Venezia, and members of the ice hockey team.

Since its inception, over 10 years ago, the Pink the Rink event has raised over $60,000 in support of RRMC’s Breast Care Program.

“We are so grateful to Castleton University and the Women’s Hockey Program for their continued support of the Breast Care Program,” said Linda McKenna, Director of Oncology, at Rutland Regional’s Foley Cancer Center. “These young women set an incredible example of compassion and commitment to such an important cause.”
