The Kindness of Strangers – A RHCC Fundraising Surprise!

August 12, 2015
It’s common for teams to host auctions to raise money for their Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer teams but this is one unique story! One team member decided to auction off an authentic Toronto Maple Leafs Winter Classic jacket but it was the lucky winner of this jacket that is making a difference to one hockey fan. Frank Vigliotti of Poughkeepsie, New York had the highest bid, but what he did next was totally unexpected. He opted to donate his prize to one of the kids fighting cancer at Princess Margaret.
 
Shemar Charles, who is a huge Maple Leafs fan, has been receiving treatment for leukemia at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre since turning 18, was delighted to receive such a generous gift.

"Please thank the guy [Pat Park] who donated the jacket in the first place, and please thank Frank [Vigliotti] for what he has done for me," says Shemar. "I love it!"
