The 2026 Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes have teamed up with the V Foundation for Cancer Research and Hockey Fights Cancer in support of pediatric cancer research in North Carolina.
With the support of local donors, fans, and the larger Hurricanes community, we are raising critical funds, growing awareness around the importance of funding pediatric cancer research and ultimately, making an incredible impact for pediatric cancer patients.
100% of funds raised go to lifesaving pediatric cancer research through the V Foundation and Hockey Fights Cancer™.
Join the Hurricanes, Hockey Fights Cancer, and the V Foundation in the pursuit of Victory Over Cancer. Every donation throughout the season, up to $100,000, will be matched dollar for dollar by generous V Foundation supporters, doubling your impact!
