On Friday, Feb. 15 at approximately 1:30 p.m. Panthers players Stephen Weiss, Mike Weaver, George Parros and Tyson Strachan will visit Chris Evert Children’s Hospital at the Broward Health Medical Center in Ft.

On Saturday, Feb. 16, following the 3 p.m. Cats-Lightning game at the BB&T Center, at least half of the Panthers team will sign autographs for fans outside on the JetBlue Tarmac.

In addition, tomorrow the Florida Panthers Foundation will host a “Panthers Players’ Favorite Things” basket auction where fans can bid on baskets put together by each players’ “better half.” The baskets feature each individual players’ favorite things with all proceeds going toward the fight against pediatric cancer. The auction will take place outside the BB&T Center’s North VIP entrance from 6:30 p.m. to the second intermission.
The “7th Man” initiative encapsulates the organization’s commitment to earning the support of all of its fans and partners all season long (#7thman, #redrising).
