The Mario Lemieux-autographed puck was acquired by team member Tina King, administrative assistant for Child Care Information Services, who sent a letter to the Mario Lemieux Foundation. King wrote about her personal experiences with cancer, including taking her sister to her chemotherapy treatments as she fought stage-IV ovarian cancer and being diagnosed with borderline ovarian cancer herself.
"I asked for something signed by Mario that we could auction or raffle off," King said. "I knew he did a lot of things to help raise money for cancer research. The next thing I knew, I was getting a package from the Lemieux Foundation."
This year’s team co-captains were Cassie Bryan, economic development associate, and Mary Ann Dispenza, CCIS case management coordinator.
