#YeahTHATAgenda: Swamp Rabbits Unveil Cancer Fighting Jerseys, Dick James Remembered, Breaking Ground in Greer Station, Are We Living in the Matrix?
Jan 16, 2019 08:50AM ● By Chris Haire
The Greenville Swamp Rabbits will host their annual Stick It to Cancer game and fundraiser this Friday, Jan. 18. To get fans excited for the night, yesterday the hockey team unveiled their jersey's for the ice rink showdown.
We had a chance to ask the Swamp Rabbits's creative director, Ian Farrell, about the stunning design and the importance of the Stick It to Cancer game.
"On my end, the inspiration behind the design was creating a jersey that players would be able to make their own," Farrell says. "Each player will have the opportunity to write the name of a loved one affected by cancer. It makes it personal, rather than simply wearing a specialty jersey. The jerseys will be auctioned off at the end of the night, with a portion of the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society."
Farrell also notes, "Our team/organization has had a Stick it to Cancer game for many years. It's our night to partner with local cancer organizations and 1) give back to something that has affected many of us and 2) bring more awareness to this terrible disease. "
The Swamp Rabbits will also be hosting a luminary ceremony before the game.
