2019 Face Off to Fight Cancer
When: Monday, October 28 2019
On behalf of MDC Productions, big thanks to all the law enforcement officers, federal agents, NHL players, musicians, movie stars and fans who came out to our 3rd annual "Face Off to Fight Cancer" charity hockey event. We packed the rink on a rainy Sunday and by dinner, the skies were clear, the sun was out, and it was a beautiful day all around!! Not sure how a team with 4 NHL players can lose to the NYPD but we'll break down the game later. Thanks to Chelsea Piers and all our event sponsors and supporters. To every vendor and volunteer; to every friend, family member, or colleague who reached out to help. We are humbled by the amount of goodwill we are able to put back into the world and very proud of what we can accomplish together. Until there's a cure, the next best thing is making a commitment to come together to help kids and families as they battle cancer. Thank you all so much!!!
