RAINMEN TO HOST CURE ON THE COURT
-For Immediate Release-     February 20 2013
 
 
(Halifax, NS)
 
 The Halifax Rainmen will be holding their implementation of the National Basketball League of Canada’s ‘Cure On The Court’ initiative Saturday February 23rd match-up against the Montreal Jazz.
 
Cure on the Court was developed by NBL Canada to support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Each of the league’s teams has designated a home game in January or February to support the cause.
 
The Rainmen will be raising funds at the game Saturday evening through their non-profit organization, the Rainmen Community Assist Society, by way of a 50/50 lottery. The organization has also been selling their baseline floor seats at $20 each, and will give back a portion back directly to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Atlantic Region.  The Rainmen also have an online auction with three great items.  An official Rainmen Jersey in Pink, an autographed team basketball, and two VIP courtside front row seats to the final regular season home game.  Please visit www.rainmenbasketball.ca to place a bid on any of the items.
 
“The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is an organization that is very near and dear to my heart,” said Halifax Rainmen Preisdent & CEO, Andre Levingston, who lost his mother to the disease. “We’re excited to be joining forces with our fans to help fight this awful disease, and hope that everyone will come out dressed head to toe in pink to show their support for the cause.”
 
A portion of all proceeds raised during the evening will be donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Atlantic Region, helping them continue their important work with world-class researchers and clinicians who are contributing to groundbreaking progress in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.
 
“The funds raised by the Halifax Rainmen help us to continue our funding of innovative breast cancer research, and support for the breast cancer community,” said Jane Parsons, CEO of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – Atlantic Region. “We are grateful for the ongoing support of the Halifax Rainmen, and of their fans.”
 
Tickets for the Cure on the Court game can be purchased at Ticket Atlantic Locations or at the Metro Centre Box Office.
