This is my 3rd year doing the October Saves program and I'm so excited to join it again!! This year is extra special to me as one of my middle school teachers was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm doing this in honor of her this year.

I raised just over $1,800 last year and I'd love to top that! Please consider supporting me by giving to my page. Every dollar counts! Thank you!!

About October Saves -

Every October the goalie nation gathers to make a difference in the fight to end cancer. Our all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization turns stopped pucks into powerful lifesaving weapons through fundraising efforts that directly support cancer research and patient care.

October Saves was founded in 2014 by Lara Hopewell, Travis Johnson and Kerry Smith. It is a story of personal triumph and community action. By connecting their passion for fundraising for cancer and their determination to make a difference, the founding members laid the groundwork for what would become a powerful movement across North America.

Beyond fundraising, October Saves uniquely fosters a sense of community among goaltenders, connecting them directly to the impact of their efforts. Our participants tour cancer centers, meet with doctors and witness firsthand how their saves are making a difference.
