Fans attending the game will have the opportunity to support cancer patients and families in several ways throughout the evening. An exclusive commemorative bracelet, featuring Seattle Storm colors and a special "Storm Out Cancer" design, will be available for purchase at the Seattle Storm Team Shop.

Funds raised through the bracelet sales and raffle will benefit the Providence Swedish Cancer Institute Patient Assistance Fund, which helps patients facing financial challenges related to their care. The fund provides assistance with essential expenses such as transportation, lodging, medications, groceries, childcare and utilities, helping patients focus on what matters most – their treatment and recovery.
