The Triple B Hockey Tourney (Bennett’s Benefit Bash) was the brainchild of Bennett Burgida who is an avid ice hockey player, NJ Devil’s fan and a cancer survivor. He decided an ice hockey tournament would be a perfect chessed opportunity in honor of his bar mitzvah to give back to Chai Lifeline.
Towards the end of 2016 Bennett started experiencing stomach pain that persisted. After meeting with various doctors it was determined that he had a blockage of his small intestine which was diagnosed and intussusception. After removal of the blockage the pathology indicated it was cancer.
Bennett was officially diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma specifically, Burkitt lymphoma in February 2017. He underwent intense chemotherapy for several months and as of September 2017 is officially cancer free.
Prior to, during and post Bennett’s treatments, Chai Lifeline was there. They made a difficult situation that much more bearable. It would be a tremendous honor if you joined us in our effort to give back.
