About this Event
Winterhawks vs Cancer Fundraiser
Join us in person for an exciting afternoon as the Milton Winterhawks take on childhood cancer! This fun-filled fundraiser is in memory of Zach Gibson, a former Winterhawk who succumbed to pediatric cancer on November 25th, 2025. It supports Childhood Cancer Canada and brings the community together for a great cause - to FIGHT childhood cancer!
Come out and cheer on the Milton Winterhawks as they face off against the Halton Police! Enjoy a 'Skate for Cancer Research', exciting prizes and giveaways, and live performances by Merritt Driven. Plus, check out our vendor tables, grab delicious bites and ice cream from local food trucks, explore real emergency vehicles, and stop by the hockey equipment exchange!
Show your support and make a difference in the lives of kids battling cancer and their families. Don’t miss out on the action and the chance to help fight childhood cancer! Because every child deserves a childhood—not a cancer diagnosis.
