Blair County Hockey Fundraiser Supports Families Battling Cancer

The Blair County community is rallying once again to support families affected by cancer through the annual 'We Skate Together' hockey fundraiser.

Established in 2024 to assist Nate Wooster during his courageous fight against aggressive brain cancer, the event has become a beacon of hope and solidarity.

Tragically, Nate passed away just before Christmas, but his enduring wish was to continue aiding others facing similar battles.

His selfless spirit lives on through this initiative.

Organizer Jonathan Wooster shared, "Nate was always thinking of others, even during his toughest times. He wanted this event to be a source of support for families in need."

The upcoming 'We Skate Together' event is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Galactic Ice Rink in Altoona.

Attendees can look forward to adult and youth hockey games, raffle baskets, a silent auction, and a variety of baked goods.

All proceeds will directly benefit local families impacted by cancer.

Youth players aged 10 to 14 are encouraged to sign up online to participate in the games.

This event not only honors Nate's memory but also strengthens the community's commitment to supporting one another in times of need.
