We started the Have A Skate Foundation in 2007 when my oldest daughter said I should put purple tape on my goal sticks to honor her late mother, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 1999.

From that modest start, we began holding benefit hockey games in Kansas City.  In 2011, we are expanding to Rockford, IL, where we are honoring the life of another friend who PC took away from us far too early, Tom Jacobson.

We are a volunteer organization, which means that 100% of your tax deductible contribution goes to fight pancreatic cancer through our beneficiary, The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. of El Segundo, CA.

Our sponsors pay our expenses, and we use local businesses wherever possible for our supplies.

We thank you for your donation, and the business community and the Rockford IceHogs for their support of Skate!
