Providence Hockey Raising Money for Teammate Battling Cancer

Many in the Friar community are probably already familiar with the story of Drew Brown, the Providence College hockey player who is fighting a battle against cancer. The short version is the Ewings Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, was discovered in Drew’s leg while he was being evaluated and treated for an injury he suffered during the Hockey East Semifinals on March 21, 2014.

He recently had the tumor removed but continues to undergo chemotherapy and rehab and his teammates are coming together to raise money for the family to help offset medical expenses. Providence’s hockey team has put together a GoFundMe.com page and is calling their November campaign Beards for Brownie. They have raised over $1,300 as of this posting towards their goal of $10,000.

Please spread the word and give if you can. Every bit helps. Friartown is a family.
