“We’re very proud to be partnering with the CT Challenge for our 5K
Tiger Dash,” Sound Tigers President Howard Saffan said. “They have done
so much for our region and for cancer survivors throughout the state.
“It was a no-brainer to team up with them for this great event. We intend to sponsor the 5K Tiger Dash annually.”
All participants will receive a welcome bag with a short sleeve dry fit
shirt and a ticket to that day’s hockey game against the Lehigh Valley
Phantoms at 3 p.m. A portion of the proceeds for the event will benefit
CT Challenge.
“We are very grateful to the Sound Tigers for coming out in support of
cancer survivors with such a great event,” said CT Challenge Co-Founder,
President and cancer survivor Jeff Keith. “It is a strong statement of
their commitment to this exploding demographic.
“The Tiger Dash and the game that follows at 3 p.m. are a great fit with
our mission to celebrate cancer survivors and inspire them to reclaim
their lives after cancer through motivational exercise, nutrition and
community-building support programs.”
