November 07 - Puck Cancer is saddened to inform you that we have endured a great loss. Co-founder Sandy Cross (30 years of age) passed away a few days after the birth of her first child Kennedy Catherine, due to complications resulting from a pulmonary embolism. Sandy’s determination to fight cancer was ignited after her sister and best-friend had endured a battle with Hodgkin’s disease at the age of 26. Her compassion and enthusiasm has been vital in the tremendous progress of Puck Cancer. As Sandy’s spirit lives on within us we will continue to uphold her remarkable drive to bring hockey enthusiasts together in shutting-out cancer.

Bensenville, IL (October 12th, 2007) --- The Chicago Steel and Puck Cancer (www.puckcancer.com) are teaming up in the fight against cancer. Come out and support the cause on October 19th, 2007, when the Steel face-off against the Waterloo Black Hawks at 7:30 PM. $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Puck Cancer organization. The Chicago Steel will be wearing pink Puck Cancer warm-up jerseys. The pink jerseys will be autographed and auctioned off during the game to raise money for Puck Cancer. There will be a merchandise table to buy Puck Cancer products to support their noble cause.
Puck Cancer was co-founded by Sue Padulo and her sister Sandy Cross. Sue was fortunate to overcome her two-year bout with cancer and her love for hockey has inspired their organization's involvement in the fight against cancer. Puck Cancer is dedicated to helping patients and survivors who are in need of either personal or financial assistance because of cancer related issues.
