ACS Tournament Coming May 1

On Saturday May 1st, the Rehabs’ own “Con” Ed Lau will once again host his annual street hockey tournament to benefit the American Cancer Society. It will take place from 9 AM to 3 PM at Moffo Rink in lower Manhattan.  To play, all you need to do is donate a minimum of $30 and sign a waiver upon arrival.  If you and a friend each donate $60 per person, both of you can be placed on the same team.  Otherwise, the teams will be created in a manner that distributes the talent evenly.

As usual, Ed stresses that “THIS IS A NON-CONTACT EVENT WITH NO SLAPSHOTS AND NO TOLERANCE FOR AGGRESSION”.  Remember, we’re all playing for charity!

Online registration is strongly encouraged as a receipt will be issued to you directly, and there is the potential for employer donation matching.  To date, the tournament has raised more than $10,000, and Ed expects to crack the $16,000 barrier this year.

For more information, contact “Con” Ed Lau or Liza Watts.
