RockPile Athletics x Buffalo Sabres Breast Cancer Fundraiser

Join us for an afternoon of fitness before the Sabres game on Saturday, October 21st!

The Buffalo Sabres have teamed up with RockPile Athletics for a fantastic fall fundraiser. Fans have the opportunity to participate in a team (partner) workout event in the plaza from 2:30-4:30.

After breaking a sweat, you can head to the game against the Islanders at 7pm.

As a special perk, every athlete who registers before 9/30, will receive a shirt with their registration, adding to the camaraderie of the event.

Not only will you be enjoying a day of fun and fitness, but a portion of the proceeds will also go to support the Breast Cancer Network of WNY, a local non-profit organization dedicated to providing support programs for breast cancer patients and survivors.

Purchase your game tickets and then register your team for the workout when purchasing your seats. And to top it all off, after the game, all ticket buyers will be invited to take a group photo at center ice, creating a memorable experience for all.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to support a great cause while enjoying a day of fitness and hockey. Get ready to sweat before cheering on the Sabres on October 21st!

Cost for the event: Cost varies by person. Pricing starts with the choice of seat to the game. The fitness event is an additional $20 per team!
