Jack Lally told us that Brian Benoff, an Atlantic District official, recently learned that his two year old daughter Madeline Benoff has a serious form of cancer. Our local officiating community has responded and organized two fund raising events in Central New Jersey for the family's benefit.

• On Friday, July 25, from 8:00 to 10:00pm, a family-oriented public skating party will take place at Bridgewater Sports Arena. Admission is $10 per family.

• On Saturday, August 9, at 7:00pm, a benefit hockey game will take place at Pro Skate USA in South Brunswick, NJ. A team of Atlantic District officials will take on the Port Authority Police Hockey Team. The suggested donation for admission to this event is $10.
  

Both rinks have generously donated the ice time, and proceeds from these two events will go directly to help Brian and his family.
