Lee has been holding this event since 2017 and has now helped raise around $3 million.
New York Islanders captain Anders Lee revealed his annual Jam Kancer event raised over $227,000.
This was his fifth Jam Kancer event, and it was by far the most successful, beating last year’s event by a total of $155,000.
Lee thanked his teammates, the Islanders organization, and fans for donating and supporting the event in a post on X:
The Kancer Jam was held on Sep. 16 at Northwell Ice Center, the Islanders practice facility in East Meadow.
The Islanders players and organization showed up for Anders, allowing kids and families to have a great experience while raising money for families affected by cancer.
Lee has been holding this event since 2017 and has now helped raise around $3 million.
Because of his work with Kancer Jam and more, Lee received the 2024 King Clancy Memorial Cup, an award given to the player “who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution to his community.”
