Sunrise, FL. Lung cancer survivor Phulmatee Shiwnarian and family will represent Team Draft at the BB&T center tonight. The Shiwnarian family will witness a game between the Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres, as a part of Team Draft’s “A Survivor Every Rink” program, which is committed to creating a unique experience for the survivors and to raise awareness on a local, national, and international level by using each game and each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of lung cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease.

Team Draft’s “A Survivor at Every Rink” initiative, fueled by a relationship with NHL during their annual Hockey Fights Cancer month.

Special thanks to the NHL and Florida Panthers for joining forces with Team Draft to make this experience possible.
