Hockey Community Unites to Support Gavin Mosher in Fundraiser Exhibition Game
Hockey enthusiasts gathered at the historic Clinton Arena for a special exhibition game between Colgate and Union teams, which served as a fundraiser for 14-year-old Gavin Mosher, who is battling leukemia. Gavin, a patient at Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, has been bravely fighting the disease, undergoing chemotherapy treatments with the support of his family and the community. The event brought together the Clinton community and the wider hockey community to show their solidarity and support for Gavin and his family.
Colgate Men's Hockey Head Coach Mike Harker and senior forward Bobby Metz expressed their commitment to helping those in need, emphasizing the caring nature of the hockey world. The game was more than just a sporting event; it was an opportunity to come together and support Gavin, making a difference in his life and showing that the community stands with him during this challenging time.
The proceeds from ticket sales and raffles at the exhibition game will be donated to the Mosher family, who were overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of support from the hockey community. Gavin's mom, Ashley Mosher, highlighted the importance of seeing Gavin surrounded by his friends at the event, noting that it was a special moment for him to be out and enjoying time with his peers after his diagnosis.
For those who were unable to attend the game but still wish to support the Mosher family, there is an opportunity to contribute through Gavin's GoFundMe page. The generosity and compassion shown by the hockey community and the Clinton community have made a significant impact on Gavin and his family, providing them with much-needed support and encouragement during this challenging time.
