Victoria, BC – The Victoria Royals are pleased to announce details for the club’s third
annual Pink in the Rink game to be held on Saturday, February 1st
when the Royals host the Vancouver Giants in support of the BC Cancer
Foundation.
In the Royals’ first two seasons on Vancouver Island,
the annual Pink in the Rink game has sold out each year and raised over $71,000
for the BC Cancer Foundation! Proceeds from the raffles, Chuck-A-Puck, 50/50,
jersey auctions, ticket options and more will all go towards the BC Cancer
Foundation again this year! All funds raised during the Pink in the Rink game
will support local research at the BC Cancer Agency Vancouver Island Centre.
The Royals are offering three ticket options for fans
wishing to attend the game and support the BC Cancer Foundation.

the BC Cancer Foundation!
These three special offers must
