On the occasion of the game at Cornèr Arena on Saturday, January 20, 2024 against Bern (7:45 p.m.),Hockey Club Lugano will take to the ice wearing a special jersey dedicated to the theme of breast cancer prevention. Indeed, the purpose of the evening will be to remind people of the importance every day of breast cancer prevention and the crucial role that early detection can play in the healing process.
The jerseys worn on this special occasion by Calvin Thürkauf and his teammates will later be auctioned off for a fundraiser in favor of the Cancer League Ticino, an association whose goal since 1936 has been to help and support people with cancer and their families as well as to provide information aimed at prevention and promoting research.
There will be two information booths of the Cancer League Ticino on the rink while the kick-off engagement will be celebrated by Ms. Alba Masullo, director of the Cancer League Ticino, and Dr. Francesco Meani, gynecologist-senologist and co-diplomat of the Swiss Society of Senology, accompanied by President Vicky Mantegazza.
